Printed by People's Press International in 1988, this 16" x 20" is an exceptional find--only to be found here at this auction!
If you know anything about the debacles in the latter half of the 20th century in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua then this mint condition silkscreen is quite the collector's item. This serigraph graphically illustrates the U.S. government's role in the dark side in of Central America's history.
