Agüero seeks a fundamental sense of right and wrong while laying bare the failures of the language of victors and vanquished, perpetrators and victims.” -- Katherine Hite, Professor of Political Science on the Frederick F. Thompson Chair, Vassar College\u003cbr\u003e“José Carlos Agüero is the first author to personalize and humanize the psychological impact of political violence on Peruvian society.
