Armando Interiano

Armando Interiano is an electrical engineer with patents to his name, a multi-language translator and a published musician who is a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point and of Rice University in Houston, Texas, who fulfilled his military duties in El Salvador.

He is particularly proud of his role in the Agrarian Reform of 1980, in which the Salvadoran Army played a crucial role in transferring properties from large landowners to peasants. He is also proud of doing his part to help turn El Salvador into a democracy, away from the feudal economic-political system bequeathed to Latin America by the Spanish.

This book began as a narration of his experiences while serving in El Salvador, but quickly turned into a discovery of relatively unknown yet consequential facts that have intentionally been kept from public discourse. This makes The Black Crusade a plausible explanation of the forces behind the events that consumed much of the world’s attention from the late 1970s to the early 1990s. It also explains why such forces are still driving events to this day.

The Black Crusade could never have been written without the unflagging support of his wife, Leslie Hubbard-Interiano, and his three wonderful daughters.

He’s written several published articles on the need for an educational revolution everywhere, particularly in Central America.
