Summary: to Brady L. Buchanan
Comment: I have to wonder how America's role in Guatemala's civil war and in the oppressive history of most Latin American countries has managed to escape your attention.

Summary: Unmasked story of social injustice
Comment: Wilkerson's novel unravels an untold story about the indigenous people in the countryside of Guatemala where social injustices and atrocities have become reoccuring events without much or any intervention. What once began as an interesting project that Wilkerson began became an eye opening experience for both the author and the reader. The marginalized throughout history have been both ignored and forgotten, but through this novel their experience has been magnified to show the world that they too are people. Caught between a brutal war these people attempt to do the impossible, live. Wilkerson provides binoculars through his novel to see the history of the indigenous people in Guatemala in the most genuine and humane manner possible. The deaths and blood of Guatemalans has only fattened the pockets of foreign investors for years proving that global consumers prefer to see the ends rather than the means. The silenced few in this tale speak loudly through their bloody past and unknown future.

Summary: If only I'd read it before going to Guate
Comment: Before travelling through Guatemala in 2002 I'd read a couple books, including Benz's Guatemalan Journey. Unfortunately, it wasn't until a year later that I found Silence on the Mountain. It's the kind of book that makes a place come alive. Well written, thrilling and engrossing, it's the book I wish I'd read before travelling through Guatemala.
