Nonviolent Insurrection in El Salvador: The Fall of Maximiliano Hernandez Martinez

by Patricia Parkman

Book Overview

In May 1944, the people of San Salvador staged a civic strike to force the resignation of dictator Maximiliano Hernandez Martinez. Parkman's account of this often overlooked era in Central American history illustrates the relevance of nonviolence as a means of political action in Latin America at a time when armed rebellion is seen by many to be the only means of change.
