Inside Cold War Mexico

This book is an honest account of one's mans many experiences with several left-wing organizations in Mexico during the sixties and seventies. He personally chaffeured guerrillas throughout Mexico to transfer weapons, meet up with other leftists, and get money and medicine to the guerrillas in southern Mexico.

Luckily he has lived to tell the tale of the horrific human right's abuses commited by the government in military during these years.
