The death toll under Reagan in El Salvador passed 50,000 and in Guatemala it may approach 100,000.” (p. 27). This is referencing the rhetoric put forth by Reagan against the Soviet Union’s influence in the Western Hemisphere and beyond. In the Guatemalan civil war, a brutal…

“Welcome to America” the judge said. (1 Hour Earlier) In the heat of DC we all got inside of the car, I sat in the back with my brother. We then drove and arrived to park 10 before 12:00.
