An ESSENTIAL investigation of a devastating event

The author's effort shines through in this work as someone genuinely concerned for the welfare of people. I say people as a general term because Anderson puts this horrific event into a context that shows how relevant it was and still is for humankind as a whole. The people of El Salvador suffered greatly in the 80's and 90's, but there was a precursory event 50 years before that was even in scope.
