A veces despierto temblandoA veces despierto temblando

"Dos kaibiles son enviados a un entrenamiento militar élite en Texas. Los adiestran para abatir el comunismo, la guerrilla y los pueblos originarios de Guatemala. Sus vidas no pertenecen a ellos mismos, sino a la patria; y si acaso al comandante kaibil Francisco Chinchilla, del servicio secreto guatemalteco, que está a cargo de su tortura, aquella que los dejará ciegos ante las atrocidades que presencian y perpetran durante la dictadura del militar Efraín Ríos Montt. 'A veces despierto temblando' es una poderosa novela coral, escrita con una prosa tan poética como demoledora." -- Contraportada.
"Two kaibils are sent to elite military training in Texas. They are trained to defeat communism, the guerrillas and the native peoples of Guatemala. Their lives do not belong to themselves, but to the country; and perhaps to the kaibil commander Francisco Chinchilla , of the Guatemalan secret service, which is in charge of their torture, the one that will leave them blind to the atrocities they witness and perpetrate during the dictatorship of the military man Efraín Ríos Montt. 'Sometimes I wake up trembling' is a powerful choral novel, written with a prose as poetic as it is devastating." -- Translation of back cover.
