Jacobo Timerman
3.9/5 ( ratings)
The bestselling, classic personal chronicle of the Argentine publisher's ordeal at the hands of the Argentine government--imprisoned and tortured as a dissenter and as a Jew--that aroused the conscience of the world.

Founder of two Argentine weekly news magazines in the 1960s and a commentator on radio and television, he was best-known as the publisher and editor of the newspaper La Opinión from 1971 until his arrest in 1977. An outspoken champion of human rights and freedom of the press, he criticized all repressive governments and organizations, regardless of their political ideologies. His other books include The Longest War: Israel in Lebanon, Cuba: A Journey, and Chile: A Death in the South.
