The book evokes the horrific legacy of the Contra war through individual testimonies of everyday Nicaraguans who survived the war that killed over 200,000 people. Dix revisits war survivors that he photographed in the 1980s and brings us up to date with their lives through a mixture of thought-provoking narratives and images. He juxtaposes moving and graphic images of the survivors as young men and women, and later as adults, with their unsettling testimonies of the war. He depicts the show more trauma that the Contra war wrought in the lives of so many Nicaraguans. show less
