I have just finished reading Andrew Graham-Yooll's memoir A State of Fear: Memories of Argentina's Nightmare. Graham-Yooll is an Argentinian of English descent who worked for many years as a reporter at the Buenos Aires Herald. During the "dirty war" (the time during the late 1970s and early 1980s when the military dictatorship kidnapped, tortured, murdered, and disappeared tens of thousands of left-wing activists and other opponents), Graham-Yooll reported on events for his paper. Eventually he had to go into exile in England. This book is his story. It didn't take me long to read, but I'll probably be thinking about it for a while.
