Fascinating ... if this gripping account teaches anything, it is
the folly of tyrannical regimes believing they can act with the
same violence and impunity abroad as they do at home
*The Spectator*
Heart-thumpingly powerful ... history told from the closest and
most frightening quarters.
*SINCLAIR MCKAY, author of The Secret Life of Bletchley Park*
A full-throttle adrenaline ride from the word go ... Manyon has a
gift for recreating scenes from his past and the archives with
almost cinematic visual details.
*The Critic*
[Manyon's] personal involvement gives an emotional charge to his
writing and his book is full of chilling detail.
*Literary Review*
Shocking, terrifying and revealing. Ground-breaking history,
expertly told - a dramatic new insight into the Falklands
conflict.
*ROGER BOLTON, BBC journalist and broadcaster*
Drawing on a huge tranche of recently declassified US documents,
Julian Manyon authoritatively nails the Argentine Junta's regime as
one of the most depraved and deluded of modern times. After reading
this book, packed with so much graphic new detail, I feel more
fortunate than ever to have escaped Argentina with my life.
*IAN MATHER, former defence correspondent of The Observer*
Gripping ... a compelling account of a dark period of modern
history.
*STEPHAN SHAKESPEARE, founder and CEO of YouGov*
