Summary:

Shocking, between the beauty of photographic art and content from multiple images scary testimonials of Guatemala's historical reality of the late 20th century, especially the 1980s, this moving document of the opposite contrast of the torn and bloodied Guatemala researched for six years by fine artist and photographer Jean-Marie Simon (b. USA) The book represents a graphic documentary of the most obscure period of recent history in Guatemala, the years of the "Conflico Armado Interno" (Internal Armed Conflict) comprising estraordinary photographs taken between 1980 and 1988 by Jean-Marie Simon (b. USA 1954). "The new edition in Spanish contains more photographs, and 40% of them were not previously published. The photos -- all color -- have also benefited from digital scanning at National Geographic Imaging (Washington DC) and professional PhotoShop enhancement at Estudio A2 in Guatemala City"--The author.
