Although reports of the massacre--and photographs of its victims--appeared in the United States, the Reagan administration quickly dismissed them as propaganda. In the end, El Mozote was forgotten. The war in El Salvador continued, with American funding. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Mark Danner's reconstruction of these events first appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, it sent shock waves through the news media and the American foreign-policy establishment. Now Danner has expanded his report into a brilliant book, adding new material as well as sources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA former staff writer for the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, Mark Danner contributes frequently to the \u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e.
