Description
A superbly written account of the hu man rights violations that occurred un der Agentina's military regime, from 1976 to 1983. The authors avoid lurid sensationalism by balancing their fac tual treatment of victims' cases with general insights into Argentina's politi cal climate. Their story of the ``Dirty War,'' in which political moderates as well as extremists were kidnapped, tor tured, and murdered, documents the military government's systematic pro gram of state repression and institu tionalized corruption. This welcome addition to the human rights literature is an excellent companion to Jacobo Timerman's personal account, Prison er Without a Name, Cell Without a Number . The appendix contains por tions of the CODEP (National Com mission on Disappeared Persons) Re port commissioned by the current democratic government of Argentina. Highly recommended. Virginia L.
