By Jennifer Harbury After carrying out multiple hunger strikes - in 1995 Jennifer Harbury forced the CIA to reveal that one of its paid agents had murdered her husband - Efra-n Velasquez - whose nom de guerre - Comandante Everardo - has become a symbol of freedom in Guatemala. In Senate Intelligence Committee hearings the CIA admitted to covering up its role in his death - and misleading Congress by sweeping it under the rug. Why should the CIA want these people dead? And what was it about these people that so touched her heart that she would risk her life to help them? Through the guerilla?s stories of unparalleled heroism - bravery and commitment - Bridge of Courage throws an extraordinary light on the human spirit.
