The author who was an Argentine newspaper publisher who dared to criticize his government's policy of cruel repression, tell the horrifying story of his arrest, imprisonment, interrogation, and torture, before a world-wide campaign won him his freedom in the fall of 1979.

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 defenses 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. prominent in his story is his experience of the fierce, 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 third world war.
