Mark D. Walker, a Returned U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer from Guatemala, is an award-winning writer and President of Million Mile Walker. His new book is “The Guatemala Reader: Extraordinary Lives & Amazing Stories”. In the book are graphs comparing Guatemala from 1970 to now, a map and a section on “How Can I Make a Difference,” and how local NGOs made a difference in Guatemala. Prior to that he wrote, “My Saddest Pleasures: 50 Years on the Road,” which reflects on his fifty years of travel miscalculations and disasters and how and why his travels changed over the years. Currently, Guatemala is involved in political chaos with the government persecuting its political enemies which seems to be emulated in many areas such as the US, Hungary and other formerly thriving democracies He is also involved with Pen America working to combat arbitrary book banning and burning in Arizona and other states.
