This book, written with so much love, so much realism, so much honesty and so much literary beauty by my friend and comrade in the struggle, Dr Eduardo Espinoza, our beloved Felipe Dubón, is a living testimony to the great ideals that propelled the guerrilla struggle of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) in the 1980s.
It is also a splendid homage to the thousands of heroes and heroines, combatants in the FMLN's military health system, who saved lives, who treated the wounded, who were psychologists even though they never studied psychology and who were an enormous bastion of morale for all our forces and for the communities that supported us in the people's war against the oligarchy and imperialism." – Lorena Peña Mendoza, Frente Farabundo Marti Para la, Liberación Nacional and former member of El Salvador's Legislative Assembly
