Guatemala•War: The Afterparty

A Guatemala Love Letter

October 11, 2021 by briangruber No Comments

Doing political travel writing on Kickstarter crowdfunding budgets offers modest economic returns. But emails like these, years after the publishing of “WAR: The Afterparty,” makes the effort sweet and worthwhile. The books opens with my two week visit to Guatemala, interviewing witnesses, professors, politicos and an exiled ex-president about the 1953 CIA overthrow of democratically elected Jacobo Arbenz, and the cycles of violence it spawned.

Subject: ARBENZ & my Father GONZALEZ JUAREZ

hi, enthralled with the ARBENZ & GONZALEZ article with my brother Julio. my name use to be: marion gonzalez hofstetter,

recently changed to my artistic name. i’m fascinated when i can find an article about my family. Julio is truly a statesman , i love very much. we returned to the USA, Chicago, met my Dad, 16yrs age. sophomore year, 17 Sr. yr. he was kidnapped and assassinated, compliments of the CIA

Brian , thank you sir, for honoring my Father & Brother Humberto, by my brother Julio. Julio is an extremely brilliant politician. a unique breed, he has honor, dignity, highest ethics, no compromise there. true love of Guatemala, the people & the land ,his love, his mistress! LoL!

thank you so much. i felt an abundance of pride!
beautifully written!!!so grateful!

God Bless, any other articles please send me a link.
