Blood and Ink Ignacio Ellacuria, Jon Sobrino, and the Jesuit Martyrs of the University of Central America

In November 1989, six members of the Jesuit community of the University of Central America in San Salvador, including the rector, Ignacio Ellacuría, were massacred by government troops. Twenty-five years later, this book provides the definitive account of the path led to that fateful day, focusing on the Jesuits' prophetic option for the poor, their role in the renewal of the Salvadoran church and society, and the critical steps that caused them, as Archbishop Romero would put it, to 'share the same fate as the poor.'
