Summary:

This is the first major, book-length memoir of a political prisoner from Mexico's ""dirty war"" of the 1970's. Written with the urgency of a first-person narrative, it is a unique work, providing an inside story of guerrilla activities and a gripping tale of imprisonment and torture at the hands of the Mexican government. Alberto Ulloa Bornemann was a young idealist when he dedicated himself to clandestine resistance and to assisting Lucio Cabañas, the guerrilla leader of the ""Party of the Poor."" Here the author exposes readers to the day-to-day activities of revolutionary activists see
