Mark Danner [has done] just that.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn December 1981 soldiers of the Salvadoran Army's select, American-trained Atlacatl Battalion entered the village of El Mozote, where they murdered hundreds of men, women, and children, often by decapitation. Although reports of the massacre--and photographs of its victims--appeared in the United States, the Reagan administration quickly dismissed them as propaganda. In the end, El Mozote was forgotten. The war in El Salvador continued, with American funding. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Mark Danner's reconstruction of these events first appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, it sent shock waves through the news media and the American foreign-policy establishment. Now Danner has expanded his report into a brilliant book, adding new material as well as sources.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47995778236605,"sku":"BS-TC0-755258","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/9767\/2637\/files\/9780679755258-HD.jpg?v=1786745198","url":"https:\/\/boundigo.com\/products\/the-massacre-at-el-mozote","provider":"Boundigo Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
