Resumen del Libro
Comic book about political violence in Peru from 1985 to 1990 that portrays one of the most terrible decades lived by contemporary Peru. Brutal episodes such as the burning of polling in Chuschi, the Lucanamarca massacre, the mass graves in Putis and massacres of Aranhuay or Paccha are masterfully drawn. They seek to move the reader by making it a witness of these terrible scenes that, while appear to be a nightmare, were real. This comic book is the chronicle of a tragedy, of the barbarism that affected he challenged above all the poorest in Peru, either from coast, peasants, quechua speakers, indigenous, soldiers or hikers. They belonged to the subaltern, the popular, the lower layers of Peruvian society. Called by the government as an internal armed conflict that fundamentally affected the marginal population, this graphic history reveals its fierce racist and classist character as well the profound indifference and contempt of the ̌lites of what was happening in these years of violence. Politicians, media, business groups, high-ranking military officers, and those who once raised their arms want to forget this conflict. And they want to forget because they know that they are also responsible, either political or criminal, that this armed conflict reached levels of barbarism to those who suffered it.
