Book Reviews of The Blindfold's Eyes: My Journey from Torture to Truth (Guatemala)

Book Review: Are you...AWAKE now, backseat warmongers?
Summary: 5 Stars

Sister Ortiz account makes tears flow; the truth of her suffering makes folks strviing to become fully human think to our current situation...to the warmaking reality we allow, and the inevtiable suffering of innocents that ALWAYTS springs from it.

Reading Ortiz makes you say, OUT LOUD "Never again." Ortiz makes you get up, call your representatives, and tell them that you are going to be a CITIZEN, and demand of them an end to what Ortiz calls "The ominous silence" surrounding torture and warmaking activity and all that accompanies them...

Are you awake, and aware, now all you backseat warmongers?

You're warmaking has always made me sick. Sister Ortiz' ordeal makes me overwhlemingly sad.
