Seriously wounded and captured in combat in 1985 by CIA agent Félix Rodríguez, guerrilla Commander Nidia Díaz tells the story of her 190 day prison ordeal.
Her case became a focus for an international human rights campaign.
I was Never Alone also describes the sensational circumstances of the release of Díaz in exchange for President Duarte's daughter, kidnapped by rebel forces.
More than a moving personal testimony of a political prisoner, I was Never Alone shows how an individual survives such brutality and isolation. It also helps explaining the popular struggle in Se Salvador.
One of the leaders of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation front, Nidia Díaz has participated in UN-sponsored peace talks with the Salvadoran government.
