Description
El Salvador, 1982, is at the height of a ghastly civil war. Joan Didion travels from battlefields to body dumps, interviews a puppet president, considers the distinctly Salvadorean meaning of the verb 'to disappear' and trains a merciless eye not only on the terror there but also on the depredations and evasions of US foreign policy.
Salvador is a restless and unflinching masterclass in the art of reportage by one of the great literary stylists of the twentieth century.

Salvador by Joan Didion is esteemed for its incisive examination of El Salvador during its civil conflict in the early 1980s. Critics praise Didion's powerful prose and sharp observations, offering a vivid portrayal of the violence and turmoil in the region. Her personal narrative approach adds a deeply human dimension to the historical and political analysis, making it an insightful read for those interested in understanding the complexities of the country's situation during that period.
