Ian T. King is the author of "The Last Eucharist", published in 2014. He is a retired distinguished professor of politics and international relations at Hendrix College in Arkansas. In that role, he taught Latin American politics for many years, including a class specifically covering human rights and social justice in the region, which included travel to Chile and Argentina. He draws from this background in his new work of historic fiction, "Leaves in the Wind: A Novel of the Dirty Wars", which casts new light on the rampant "disappearing" of citizens during the era.
