When Rains Became Floods

When Rains Became Floods is the gripping autobiography of Lurgio Gaviln Snchez, 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. Gaviln Snchez's words mark otherwise forgotten acts of brutality and kindness, moments of misery and despair as well as solidarity and love.
