Several myths regarding Guatemalan history have become widely accepted as fact, even though there is much evidence supporting opposing interpretations. Professor Carlos Sabino, a knowledgeable Latin American historian, offers the reader a well-balanced view on the economic and political developments of Guatemala in the last half of the 20th century. Guatemala, a Silenced History, is a result of a lengthy investigation and is intended not only as a text for scholars but also as a clear account for all readers interested in the history of Guatemala and Latin America. The extensive research conducted by Sabino allows him to deliver a work that highlights certain controversial information that is often omitted in contemporary accounts. Maps and photos are included to familiarize the modern reader with forgotten images of a bygone era.
