À propos de cet audio

On 12th May 1982, as the Falklands conflict became a shooting war, journalist Julian Manyon and his TV crew were kidnapped on the streets of Buenos Aires and put through a traumatic mock execution by the secret police. Less than eight hours later, they were invited to film a world exclusive interview with an apologetic President Galtieri, head of the Argentine Junta.

Spurred on by the recent release of declassified CIA documents about Argentina's 'Dirty War', Manyon discovered the identity of his kidnapper and his terrifying record of torture and murder in the bloody struggle against left-wing opposition.

Timed to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the Falklands conflict, this book is an extraordinary personal insight into the war behind the war, seen through the eyes of a reporter who was fortunate to escape with his life.

This was an incident that knew absolutely nothing about, so found it very interesting. How frightening to have been kidnapped while working as a journalist in Argentina, especially when you learn later that few survived such crimes there. Very enlightening as to Argentina, as well as plenty on the lead up to the Falkland Islands War, adding a few more pieces to that puzzle.
Unfortunately, the audio quality was extremely poor, and at times I could not make out what was being said. As it’s a fairly recent recording, that was disappointing to experience. Still worth a listen though.

Interesting stuff!
