Description

In December 1981 soldiers of the Salvadoran Army’s make a selection, American-trained Atlacatl Battalion entered the village of El Mozote, where they murdered hundreds of men, women, and children, regularly by decapitation. Even if reports of the massacre — and photographs of its sufferers — gave the impression in america, the Reagan administration quickly dismissed them as propaganda. In spite of everything, El Mozote was once forgotten. The war in El Salvador continued, with American funding.

When Mark Danner’s reconstruction of these events first gave the impression in The New Yorker, it sent shock waves through the news media and the American foreign-policy establishment. Now Danner has expanded his report into a brilliant book, adding new material in addition to sources. He has produced a masterpiece of scrupulous investigative journalism that may be also a testament to the forgotten sufferers of a neglected theater of the cold war.
