I read this book a few years ago in Spanish after finding out about it through the Argentine periodical LUCHA ARMADA. I scoured the bookshops in Buenos Aires, only to find the book was completely unavailable in the country where the atrocities took place. Months later, my university found a copy in Spanish after much searching and many delays, but at least our campus has it now. Unfortunately, only those who can read Spanish have had access to the information held in this book. Until now....
I am delighted the memoir of these women who suffered at the ESMA will begin to reach a larger audience (through the English edition), but, until the paperback comes out, the price of the hardback will make the text only available through libraries.
I encourage everyone who is able to place an order through your library for this book to do so. It is important that we do not let these voices be buried by any more types of censorship. (Any form of limiting access to information--especially about political prisoners--is a type of censorship.)
For those of you who want to know more about these women, check the press coverage of one of the authors who recently had speaking engagements in New York and DC.

no one there are no reviews on this book. why in heck is this thing $70? I'm not buying it either at that price and looks like everyone else feels the same.
