"A historical book! Verbitsky not only takes us deep into the methods with which a dictatorship represses and destroys a nation, but even deeper, into the recesses of a mind and a life that executed that design. Read it and pray for may it never happen again."

"So many years after the Argentine genocide, those of us who were tortured by the Armed Forces can calmly discuss issues such as what form of torture was more bearable. With the same emotional balance, Horacio Verbitsky presents here the most sinister horrors committed by the Military Junta: beings humans thrown still alive into the sea from naval planes. This story, told in an original and precise language, without complaints or regrets, extends Hannah Arendt's contemplation on the banality of evil. Neither Arendt nor Verbitsky will allow us to ignore what they are capable of become human beings".

"The best Argentine journalist has written the best book on the worst crimes."
