| Publisher Description: When Rains Became Floods is the gripping autobiography of Lurgio Gavil n S nchez, 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. Gavil n S nchez's words mark otherwise forgotten acts of brutality and kindness, moments of misery and despair as well as solidarity and love. |
