Publisher's Synopsis
In this gripping memoir, a young Toronto writer-without journalistic experience or credentials-travels to Central America at the height of the Contra War, on a personal quest to unravel the story of Eden Pastora, an obscure and independent guerrilla leader. In search of Pastora, the writer encounters the fighters, politicos, and journalists caught in an undercover war of information and misinformation. Stuck between the CIA and myriad revolutionary forces, he ultimately becomes involved in a web of subterfuge and murder, shedding light on the destructive nature of ideology in Latin America.
