    About this series

    Brazil 1990s

    A problematic social issue, a unit called to respond.

    A man struggles to right his wrong.

    "If I had said 'no,' instead of 'yes' when they asked me to do this thing, then maybe I would have turned out a hero instead of what I've become.

    We were trained, hired with the promise of a good wage, to take care of a problem, to get things under control. As a man, I needed to succeed for myself, for my family living in a cycle of poverty in the sertão, the backlands. The earnings proved excellent, and far outweighed the promises made by the controlling peasant guerrillas. But the other part of it… If I knew then what I know now…

    I can't live with myself…

    I can't live.

    If I could take it back. Everything I've done—

    Ach, who could do such things? And if one could, then who would forgive such things?"

    This is the story of one man's dark path to redemption.

      Accused of the worst war crimes in the history of Argentina, Carlos Cornella is despised by a wounded nation… "I'm in love with a monster. That's what people call him anyway: monster, murderer, kidnapper, torturer, sociopath, even the devil. His crimes are so terrible that he may be unforgivable. But I have come to know him as something else. I know him as God's Treasure. And I'm not sure what to do about that. So, here's my story."

      When a furtive conflict is pitted between violent leftist guerrillas and a rightwing paramilitary group in Colombia, a North American woman mistakenly gets caught in the middle. "I spent four months, one week and two days in a clandestine prison referred to as The Water Cave. Every day I stared hell in the face, and each day I wanted to die. I don't want to share too much too quickly. To understand fully, you must join hands with me, fasten your heart to mine, and course through my book. Stumble over the incomprehensible human rights journey with me. I've pondered it to the brink of questionable sanity, and it's the only way to explain. I suppose I should consider myself lucky I survived at all—for many did not—yet, perplexingly so, that's not the premise of this narrative. He altered my life, marked me forever. But it's not how you might imagine. This is a story involving Horacio Botello, my torturer known as Puma."
