Rockwall, TX - February 9, 2026 - Author Elaine Broun announced the continued circulation and reader engagement of Carrasco ’67: A Harrowing Tale of an Imperialist Pig, a psychological suspense novel grounded in verified historical events that took place in Uruguay during a period of political unrest in the late 1960s.
The novel is based on real-life experiences involving a civilian family that became the target of escalating threats and intimidation during the rise of the Tupamaro movement. Historical accounts describe how the movement initially emerged as a response to economic decline and unemployment following World War II before evolving into a militant organization that increasingly relied on coercive tactics. These documented conditions serve as the historical context for the narrative.
Carrasco ’67 recounts the family’s experience navigating repeated kidnapping attempts and sustained psychological pressure, including sleep deprivation and ongoing threats. Public historical records indicate that intervention occurred after the family sought assistance from a U.S. intelligence operative stationed in Uruguay at the time, followed by coordinated efforts with the Uruguayan military. The novel presents these events through a psychological suspense lens without dramatizing or speculating beyond established accounts.
“The story reflects what it was like to live under constant uncertainty, where fear itself became a weapon,” said Elaine Broun, author. “The goal was to document the psychological toll of those events while remaining faithful to the historical record.”
Elaine Broun writes within the psychological suspense thriller genre, drawing on historically documented circumstances to explore themes of survival and resilience. A published review by Walter Roper previously referenced parallels between the family’s experience and other well-known historical accounts of persecution and escape, noting similarities in circumstance rather than narrative style.
This announcement follows the September 2025 release of Broun’s second psychological suspense novel, Let Me Go, and coincides with continued interest in historically inspired fiction that examines the human impact of political violence. The company reports ongoing engagement from readers seeking fiction rooted in documented history rather than speculative or fictionalized conflict.
Additional information about current titles, author updates, and official announcements is available through the author’s website and verified social media platforms.
