Beskrivning

Retired navy officer Adolfo Scilingo was the first man ever to break the Argentine military's pact of silence, stunning his compatriots and the world by openly confessing his participation in the hideous practice of pushing live political dissidents out of airplanes during Argentina's dirty war.Available for the first time in paperback, with a new introduction by Judge Gabriel Cavallo on the upcoming military trials and a new epilogue by the author, Confessions of an Argentine Dirty Warrior includes the complete text of Scilingo's confession in the form of interviews given to Argentina's best-known investigative journalist, Horacio Verbitsky, along with an afterword by Juan Méndez, putting these events in the context of the dirty war.

Recensioner i media

"This book caused a furor...in Argentina, where at least nine thousand of the "disappeared" remain unaccounted for, but its lessons about officially sanctioned atrocities are universal." - The New Yorker "Horacio Verbitsky is one of the world's best and bravest journalists. His account of the atrocities committed by the Argentine military is stupefying. It makes us wonder what those who loudly claim to be fighting terrorism today thought they were doing when they shut their eyes to the horrors he describes." Hugh O'Shaughnessy"
