PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1992, this Guatemalan woman speaks eloquently of her struggles against the military for a decent way of life. A compelling testimony to the power of a strong-minded, ordinary person and her love for her land. Although some of the book's events have been called into question, no one disputes that everything in the book happened, although not necessarily to the author. Menchu asserts that, in the Maya tradition, she is telling the collective story of her people. Beware, it includes some graphic scenes of brutal violence.
