'Days and Nights succeeds not only because of its socio-political authenticity and lyrical style but because of its anger and tenderness, elation and sorrow.' The NationDays and Nights of Love and War is the personal testimony of one of Latin America's foremost contemporary political writers.In this fascinating journal and eloquent history, Eduardo Galeano records the lives and struggles of the people of Latin America. Spanning more than two decades and covering the entire continent, from Guatemala and Cuba in the north to Chile and Argentina in the south, Galeano vividly conveys what it is like to live in a time of intense violence and repression.Alternating between reportage, personal vignettes, interviews, travelogues, and folklore, Galeano pays tribute to the courage and determination of those who continued to believe in, and fight for, a more human existence.
