When Rains Became Floods : A Child Soldier's Story (Latin America in Translation)

When Rains Became Floods is the gripping autobiography of Lurgio GavilÁn SÁnchez, who as a child soldier fought for both the Peruvian guerrilla insurgency Shining Path and the Peruvian military. After escaping the conflict, he became a Franciscan priest and is now an anthropologist. GavilÁn SÁnchez's words mark otherwise forgotten acts of brutality and kindness, moments of misery and despair as well as solidarity and love.
