"Rebel Radio is the story of Radio Venceremos, one of the stations operated by guerillas during the decade-long civil war in El Salvador. It is told through the experiences of the men and women who worked for the station. As such, it is not just about radio, but about the daily lives of the guerillas in the mountains of Morazán. It would make a great novel, but everything in this book actually happened. Originally published in Spanish in 1991, the book comes with eleven black and white photos and two maps. If you ever wondered what motivates people to operate radio stations in conditions of extreme danger, this book is for you." (Radio Netherlands Media Network 1996)
