“This is a book about a hallucinatory form of torture--unique in the annals of repression--that took place in the 1970s in the Mechanics School of the Argentine Navy. . . . a torture chamber that became the most notorious in Latin America's history. . . . How this could happen is now somewhat easier for Americans to understand after Abu Ghraib.” - from the Foreword by Tina Rosenberg
Very very hard to read. Towards the middle and end, it gets a bit repetitive but very moving way of talking about the Dictatorship without it being framed in a historical context.
