  Eternal Spring Eternal Tyranny: Guatemala’s Lost Photographs
  In November, I am publishing a new student edition of my book to teach Guatemalan schoolchildren, especially rural and semi-literate schoolchildren, about the war in a more visual way.  There is a need to distribute this book to Guatemalans, especially schoolchildren, who have little information about the war.

  Incredible Stories and Experiences in Guatemala – Newsletter from Rob Mercatante
  It is a warm evening here in Guatemala City. I'm in my apartment, sitting in front of the laptop, wondering how to begin this letter. It has been a long while since I've felt compelled to write a newsletter of any sort.
