"Ms. Feitlowitz does an excellent job of combining moving, personalaccounts of the Dirty War with insightful glimpses into the complexity ofcurrent events in Argentina. Her book thoughtfully examines the important linksbetween the Argentine people's struggle to remember, and heal, past atrocitieswith today's fight to establish accountability and preserve basic democraticrights, including freedom of expression." --Dr. Jose Miguel Vivanco, ExecutiveDirector, Human Rights Watch/Americas, "Ms. Feitlowitz does an excellent job of combining moving, personal accounts of the Dirty War with insightful glimpses into the complexity of current events in Argentina.

Ms. Feitlowitz captures the guilt of the silent and acquiescent in a nation where many either refuse to recognize the enormity of what happened or argue in anger, or fear, that the past isbest forgotten.... her remarkable book bears painful witness to a tragedy that must not be forgotten."--The New York Review of Books, "Approaches the subject in a unique and fascinating way by examining how language was used and changed because of what people experienced.... The book provides and emotional and vivid description of events, uses new approaches,a dn suggests conclusions not found in other vlumes on this periodof Argentine history. An important book for college and academic Latin America collections."--Library Journal, "A well-researched, intimate and perceptive portrait of an Argentina still struggling with the crimes of the "dirty war" that ended nearly 20 years ago."--The New York Times Book Review, "A searing account of the Argentine Dirty War which claimed over 30,000lives between 1976 and 1983....

No ghastly stone is left unturned. The murderers walk free, of course, pardoned under an amnesty. The story Marguerite Feitlowtiz tells is both profoundly disgusting and quite heartbreaking."--Harold Pinter, "Marguerite Feitlowtiz's impressive account of the Argentinean horror (1976-1983) is lucid, authoritative, and appalling.

Synopsis
"We were all out in la charca, and there they were, coming over the ridge, a battalion ready for war, against a schoolhut full of children." Tanks roaring over farmlands, pregnant mothers tortured, their babies stolen and sold on the black market, homes raided in the dead of night, ordinary citizens kidnapped and never seen again--such were the horrors of Argentina's Dirty War. Now, in A Lexicon of Terror, Marguerite Feitlowitz fully exposes the nightmare of sadism, paranoia, and deception the military dictatorship unleashed on the Argentine people, a nightmare that would claim over 30,000 civilians from 1976 to 1983 and whose leaders were recently issued warrants by a Spanish court for the crime of genocide. Feitlowitz explores the perversion of language under state terrorism, both as it's used to conceal and confuse ("The Parliament must be disbanded to rejuvenate democracy") and to domesticate torture and murder. Thus, citizens kidnapped and held in secret concentration camps were "disappeared"; torture was referred to as "intensive therapy"; prisoners thrown alive from airplanes over the ocean were called "fish food." Based on six years of research and moving interviews with peasants, intellectuals, activists, and bystanders, A Lexicon of Terror examines the full impact of this catastrophic period from its inception to the present, in which former torturers, having been pardoned and released from prison, live side by side with those they tortured. Passionately written and impossible to put down, Feitlowitz shows us both the horror of the war and the heroism of those who resisted and survived--their courage, their endurance, their eloquent refusal to be dehumanized in the face of torments even Dante could not have imagined., "We were all out in la charca, and there they were, coming over the ridge, a battalion ready for war, against a schoolhut full of children."

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
