Buried Secrets chronicles the journey of Maya massacre survivors seeking truth, justice, and healing in the aftermath of genocide in Guatemala. Sanford provides an insider's view to the workings of the Commission for Historical Clarification (truth commission) and the complex process of truth-gathering as she build the legal case for genocide against former dictators. The book is based on exhaustive research, including more than 400 testimonies from massacre survivors, archival reseacrh, and interviews with members of the forensic team, human rights leaders, high-ranking military officers - including those implicated in the genocide, guerrilla combatants an government officials. The testimonies make Buried Secrets a book of witness to war and to suffering, but also to the love, sorrow, and hope from which survivors find the courage to challenge those who would have erased their very existence.
