I needed this book for my college course ASAP. I ordered right away received the book only three days later. Even though it was labelled as "used", it was in perfect condition; looks and feels brand new with no notes. If anyone needs a book rushed for class, I would 12/10 recommend Textbook Rush.

Critical perspective and incredible first hand account

Eye opening and I’m not sure everyone’s experience of survival mirrors his. I think it is one perspective and obviously valid and valuable. Not all prisoners survive by denying memories but also by remembering love as a beacon to which to return

I read this in college and returned to it ten years later. I found his descriptions of the totalitarianism essential for anyone interested in history and politics. I would suggest that anyone taking on the task of reading this book look into the history of Peronism. It would help to get a full perspective on it before delving into the book.

Jacobo Timerman's excruciating tale of false imprisonment at the hands of Argentina's totalitarian regime. He describes his two year imprisonment and the torture that he endures at the hand of his captors. Obviously a very tough topic to describe, this is not always an easy book to read. His story of perseverance and will to overcome his circunstances are truly inspiring. However I was not enamored with the amount of political commentary, and i think that takes away from his message.

Latin American History first person account of torture and survival in the 1970's

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

Well written document about repression in Latin America during the 1970's, written from the reporter Jacobo Timerman's point of view. Sheds light on various themes, such as torture, anti-semetism, and the irrational detainment and destruction of people who were guilty of not having the same views as the ruling Junta government. Great text for modern Latin American history.

Timerman, whose career is referenced in Lawrence Thornton's IMAGINING ARGENTINA, lived the life -- and, under such a regime as that of the Argentine generals -- and suffered the punishment of an honest journalist.
