'As previously classified or hidden documents slowly reach the light of day, we're starting to understand more about Operation Condor, which was a coordinated effort by South American dictatorships to exterminate their political opponents during the mid-1970s. Fernando López has written an exhaustively researched book that aims to provide a fresh perspective on the existing literature.'Professor Gregory WeeksUniversity of North Carolina at Charlotte, Editor of The Latin Americanist
