The broadcast provided a vital link between combatants in the mountains and the outside world, as well as an alternative to mainstream media reporting. In this first-person account, \"Santiago,\" the legend behind Radio Venceremos, tells the story of the early years of that conflict, a rebellion of poor peasants against the Salvadoran government and its benefactor, the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOriginally published as \u003ci\u003eLa Terquedad del Izote\u003c\/i\u003e, this memoir also addresses the broader story of a nationwide rebellion and its international context, particularly the intensifying Cold War and heavy U.S. involvement in it under President Reagan. By the war's end in 1992, more than 75,000 were dead and 350,000 wounded-in a country the size of Massachusetts. Although outnumbered and outfinanced, the rebels fought the Salvadoran Army to a draw and brought enough bargaining power to the negotiating table to achieve some of their key objectives, including democratic reforms and an overhaul of the security forces.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBroadcasting the Civil War in El Salvador\u003c\/i\u003e is a riveting account from the rebels' point of view that lends immediacy to the Salvadoran conflict. It should appeal to all who are interested in historic memory and human rights, U.S. policy toward Central America, and the role the media can play in wartime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarlos Henríquez Consalvi (Santiago) is founder and director of the Museo de la Palabra y la Imagen in San Salvador, El Salvador.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharles Nagle is a graduate student at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBill Prince is Professor of Spanish and Erik Ching is Associate Professor of History at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 293\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.67 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45308161032294,"sku":"9780292728950","price":61.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/bzlwYzB3d1FDNXBoNUZ3M2tLVWM5QT09.webp?v=1774158634","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/broadcasting-the-civil-war-in-el-salvador-a-memoir-of-guerrilla-radio-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
