Description: "This is a personal account of events in Bolivia from 1964 to 1980. It tells of a political struggle that was and is, of a people who refuse to be crushed under the boot of military dictators who too often have been financed, coached and manipulated by the government of the United States. It is the story of a people who pledge in their national anthem to, "Die rather than live as slaves." What follows describes of one of the most convulsive periods in their history and how I saw it unfold."--Page 4 of cover.
