A magisterial book on a great subject. This is a book everyone should read.

— Susan Sontag

A major work that deserves to stand among the very best accounts of state terror and those who had the strength and luck to survive it.

— Foreign Affairs

Marguerite Feitlowitz’s impressive account of the Argentinean horror is lucid, authoritative, and appalling.

— Harold Pinter

The most important book to appear so far on the consequences of the vicious cycle of terror and violence that enveloped Argentina in the 1970s.

— Robert Cox, Buenos Aires Herald
