hardcover. Condición: Very Good in Dustjacket. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First Edition. New York. 1985. St Martin's Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0312212291. 416 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Lawrence Ratzkin. keywords: Latin America Argentina History Disappeared. DESCRIPTION - Over eleven thousand people disappeared in Argentina from 1976 to 1983. under the right wing junta that deposed Isabel Peron. It was not until the silent mass demonstrations by the women known as the Mothers of the Plaza that the fates of 'the disappeared' were made public. These women-wives and and mothers who had lost husbands, children, and families-marched before the government building in Buenos Aires hearing placards and photographs of their loved ones, and the horrifying truth began to leak out to the rest of the world. Murders, tortures, and imprisonments were used to maintain power and silence critics of the regime. Children were kidnapped and sold to line the pockets of the military leaders. By exposing the brutally repressive policies of the regime, the Mothers of the Plaza helped to overthrow it. The junta was removed after the ill-fated invasion of the Falkland Islands, which had been designed to shore up the tottering government. A moving human document, heartbreaking in its revelations. THE DISAPPEARED AND THE MOTHERS OF THE PLAZA is proof of the ability of grief and love to destroy a corrupt government's absolute power. inventory #16502.…

Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fair. 416 pages. Illustrations. Appendix: the CODEP Report. References. Index. DJ has wear, tears, soiling, and chips. John Cody Fidler-Simpson CBE (born 9 August 1944) is an English foreign correspondent and world affairs editor of BBC News. He has spent all his working life at the BBC, and has reported from more than 120 countries, including thirty war zones, and interviewed many world leaders. He was educated at Magdalene College, Cambridge, where he read English and was editor of Granta magazine. In 1966 Simpson started as a trainee sub-editor at BBC radio news. Jana Eve Bennett OBE (born 1955) is a media consultant. Previously she was President and General Manager of History and H2 at A+E Networks in New York. She joined A+E Networks in June 2013 as President of The Biography Channel and Lifetime Movie Network. Prior to joining A+E Networks she was President of BBC Worldwide Networks. In that role she was responsible for BBC Worldwide's television channels, which operate in more than 100 countries. She was also Worldwide's Managing Director for Latin America with oversight of the company's businesses in the region. Bennett was made a Fellow of the Royal Television Society in 1999. The military junta that ruled Argentina from 1976 until the restoration of democracy in 1983 preferred not to jail "subversives" but to exterminate them, maintain the authors. Hence the infamous "disappearances," a subterfuge in which Gen. Jorge Videla's security forces seized, tortured and apparently murdered thousands. Simpson and Bennett covered the regime's end and the commencement of Raul Alfonsin's presidency for BBC television. They offer here a comprehensive, well-written account of the "Dirty War," its many innocent victims and the repressive effort to impose a regime of which violence was a part. Along with accounts of "disappeared" people of all classes, the authors show how relatives (the protesting "mothers" of Buenos Aires), journalists and others helped to expose the reign of terror.
