About this title
Guatemala stands on the verge of civil war as a military junta enforces its rule with daily killings, vast landholdings by a few private owners and the forced relocation of thousands of peasants to unproductive highlands. Army and paramilitary forces carry out kidnappings, torture and executions in the name of fighting communism, and a Swiss SRG team led by Otto Honegger secretly toured occupied zones and met guerrilla and peasant committees to document the growing violence.
