In 1978 two young men were ambushed and killed by Puerto Rican police as they attempted to sabotage radio trans mitters atop a mountain called Cerro Maravilla. Police claimed a shoot-out and closed the case, but an investiga tion carried out by civil rights workers and journalists, of whome Nelson was one, exploded into a major scandal and cover-up involving the governor and even the U.S. Department of Justice. How witnesses were coerced into lying under oath is described against a fasci nating back-drop of political violence related Puerto Rico's ambiguous sta tusneither a state, nor an indepen dent entity, nor autonomous with a commonwealth. As exciting as a detec tive story, this book belongs in general, as well as Latin American, collec tions. Louise Leonard, Univ. of Flori da Lib., Gainesville - Library Journal.
