<b><b><b><b>"Terror is the given of the place." The place is El Salvador in 1982, at the ghastly height of its civil war. Didion "brings the country to life" (<i>The New York Times</i>), delivering an anatomy of a particular brand of political terror--its mechanisms, rationales, and intimate relation to United States foreign policy. </b></b></b><p><b><b><b></b></b></b>As ash travels from battlefields to body dumps, Didion interviews a puppet president, and considers the distinctly Salvadoran grammar of the verb "to disappear." Here, the bestselling, award-winning author of <i>The Year of Magical Thinking</i> and <i>Let Me Tell You What I Mean </i>gives us a book that is germane to any country in which bloodshed has become a standard tool of politics.</p></b>
