Seller's Description:
New York. 1996. New Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 1565840097. Afterword by Juan Mendez. General Counsel Human Rights Watch. Translated from the Spanish by Esther Allen. 207 pages. hardcover. JACKET DESIGN BY EVAN GAFFNEY. INSET JACKET PHOTOGRAPH BY DIEGO GOLDBERG/SYGMA. AUTHOR PHOTO BY ALEJANDRA LOPEZ. keywords: Argentina History Latin America Translated. FROM THE PUBLISHER-RETIRED NAVY OFFICER Francisco Scilingo is the first man ever to break the Argentine military's pact of silence. Incensed by what he perceived as unjust treatment of former Argentine military officials, Scilingo stunned his compatriots and the world by openly confessing his participation in the hideous practice of pushing live political dissidents out of airplanes over the South Atlantic during Argentina's dirty war. THE FLIGHT makes available to English-language readers for the first time the complete text of Scilingo's confession, offered as interviews with Argentina's best-known investigative journalist, Horacio Verbitsky. In these interviews, Scilingo confirms what was rumored for years, but always denied by the Argentine military. He recounts his inside knowledge of and participation in the monstrous campaign of systematic torture and death waged by the military from 1976 to 1983; he details the military's practice of rotating personnel so that everyone, including ranking officers, would be complicit; and he talks about the Church's awareness and seeming endorsement of many atrocities. Scilingo's candid admissions offer unique insights into the psychology of guilt and present a riveting study of human behavior at its worst. This first English translation of the Argentine bestseller also includes a new chapter on the reactions to Scilingo's confession in Argentina and an afterword By Juan MEndez, General Counsel of Human Rights Watch, that places the confession in the context of other atrocities around the world. inventory #22986.
