Under violent military dictatorship, Operation Condor and the Dirty
War scarred Argentina from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s,
leaving behind a legacy of repression, state terror, and political
murder. Even today, the now-democratic Argentine government
attempts to repair the damage of these atrocities by making human
rights a policy priority. But what about the other Dirty War,
during which Argentine civilians--including indigenous
populations--and foreign powers ignored and even abetted the
state's vicious crimes against humanity? In this groundbreaking new
work, David Sheinin draws on previously classified Argentine
government documents, human rights lawsuits, and archived
propaganda to illustrate the military-constructed fantasy of
bloodshed as a public defense of human rights. Exploring the
reactions of civilians and the international community to the daily
carnage, Sheinin unearths how compliance with the dictatorship
perpetuated the violence that defined a nation. This new approach
to the history of human rights in Argentina will change how we
understand dictatorship, democracy, and state terror.
