Epilogue December 2007

From 1976-1983, an estimated 30,000 people disappeared in Argentina. They were victims of the 'Dirty War' - a brutal campaign designed by the government to root out subversives. Those suspected of being dissidents were kidnapped and taken to secret detention centers. Most were tortured and then killed - never seen again. Robert J. Cox, editor of the Buenos Aires Herald, did what few others were willing to do - he told the truth about what was happening even in the face of great personal risk. Every day his newspaper reported on the kidnappings and killings. He challenged those in power - asking questions and demanding answers. Cox's story is told by his son David who grew up under the pall of terrorism, but was inspired by his father's 'great courage to write what was true'"--Jacket
