"In late 1996 a national scandal erupted when Defense Department officials admitted to the existence of a "torture manual" used to train officers of some of the most abusive regimes in Latin America. But this was only the latest in a long series of revelations surrounding the activities at the infamous School of the Americas at Fort Benning, Georgia. In School of Assassins, author Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer documents the hidden reality of a school that has left a trail of suffering and death in every Latin American country where its graduates have returned. In tiny El Salvador, SOA graduates were responsible for the massacre of six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper and her daughter, the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero, the rape and murder of four U.S. church women, and many other atrocities." "School of Assassins also tells the stories of the people of SOA Watch who have petitioned Congress to stop funding the SOA, and have been jailed for their protests against the school. With public awareness growing and more people demanding that the school be closed, grim lessons remain. The most outrageous is this: the members of SOA Watch have spent more time behind bars for their nonviolent protests against the "School of Assassins" than any of the murderers trained there."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
