The 1979 coup d'état in El Salvador sparked a brutal twelve-year civil war. Events such as the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero and the murder of four U.S. churchwomen drew worldwide attention to the violence that rocked this tiny county. In 1983, 30 renowned international photojournalists on assignment for Time, Newsweek, LIFE, The New York Times, Paris-Match, and Stern contributed to a book and exhibition that chronicled the daily life of the people during the height of the civil war. The exhibition features 67 black and white photographs that depict those directly involved with the conflict, including the guerillas and the U.S.-aided army, as well as the impact upon the civilian population. The photographs are drawn from the Ransom Center's collections and were the gift of the Marlene Nathan Meyerson Family Foundation. The images are accompanied by texts written by poet Carolyn Forché.
