AGONÍA, MUERTE Y SALVACIÓN EN EL NORTE DEL VIRREINATO PERUANO

Santiago Santa Cruz, el Comandante Santiago, médico de profesión, relata su experiencia guerrillera en la Organización del Pueblo en Armas (ORPA) de Guatemala, y luego en el Frente Unitario de la Unidad Revolucionaria Nacional Guatemalteca (URNG), a partir de sus libretas de campaña y sus recuerdos personales. El resultado es una detallada historia político-militar del movimiento revolucionario en Guatemala de 1980 a 2001, fechas que abarcan su apogeo y su declive, desde el momento que sigue al triunfo de la Revolución sandinista en Nicaragua hasta la firma de los acuerdos de paz.

El autor examina las descripciones del emblema fundacional de Tenochtitlan, antecedente del Escudo Nacional, que se encuentran explícitas en las fuentes prehispánicas y en documentación indígena e hispana producida en el periodo colonial. Se indaga cuándo, por qué y en qué circunstancias pudo haberse creado ese símbolo. Se rastrea, asimismo, el itinerario que el emblema del águila y la serpiente siguió durante la Colonia hasta su instauración definitiva como símbolo del actual Estado nacional.
