From the Publisher
"It ranks with Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem in its examination of the totalitarian mind."
--The Village Voice
From the Back Cover
"At two in the morning of April 15, 1977, twenty armed men in civilian clothes arrested Jacobo Timerman, editor and publisher of a leading Buenos Aires newspaper. Thus began thirty months of imprisonment, torture, and anti-Semitic abuse. . . . Unlike 15,000 other Argentines, 'the disappeared,' Timerman was eventually released into exile. His testimony [is] gripping in its human stories, not only of brutality but of courage and love; important because it reminds us how, in our world, the most terrible fantasies may become fact."-New York Times, Books of the Century
"It ranks with Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem in its examination of the totalitarian mind, the role of anti-Semitism, the silence."-Eliot Fremont-Smith, Village Voice
"It is impossible to read this proud and piercing account of [Timerman's] suffering and his battles without wanting to be counted as one of Timerman's friends."-Michael Walzer, New York Review of Books
"Timerman was a living reminder that real prophets are irritants and not messengers of reassurance. He told it like it is, whether in Argentina, Israel, Europe, or the United States."-Arthur Miller

Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Uk Edition. Hardback. Very slightly sunned spine to D/J. Translated from the Spanish by Toby Talbot.He was a relentless champion of human rights and social justice. In the pages of his Beunos Aires newspaper, La Opinion, the author constantly attacked the Argentine government, military services, secret police and terrorist gangs for their lawless behaviour - in a period of a few years some 20-30,000 Argetnines simply disappeared and have never been heard from again. On one particular day Timerman received threats from both right and left-wing death squads. In April 1977 he was arrested by an extremist faction of the Argeninte army, without charges being brought against him. In this heart-felt book he describes his captivity for thirty months - in federal police headquarters, in secret prisons, finally in his house. Timerman conveys the anguish and despairing sense of losing touch with reality that he felt as a prisoner in solitary confinement. He tells of his defences against torture: a calculated passivity that preserved his energy and strength, and a keen sense of his own identity that kept him from breakdown and madness. priminent in his story is his experience of the firece, totally irrational anti-Semitism with which he was confronted by men who expressed their admiration for the policies of Nazism and grotesquely imagined an imminent thrid world war. This book is a deeply-moving memori of a brave man's survival against the mindless brutality and repression of a closed totalitarian society. 164 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
