"This book recovers the voices of five women "disappeared" in Argentina's "dirty war." In 2004 Argentina's president declared that the Mechanics School would be turned into a Museum of Memory of the atrocities of that war. Despite this vindication and their testimonies in legal forums, the five women authors continue to struggle with torture-induced terror in their daily lives."—Jacket.
