Hello all,
Just joined book and reader to get recommendations for new books to read. I typically like to read historical non-fiction. I have just finished this book called Memory Tracks by Margarita Drago which was a great one. The book takes place in the 1970s in Argentina amid a political crisis in which the government employed violent tactics to silence anybody whom had different political views or anyone who simply wanted to question the authority of the Argentine government. The book is broken up into vignettes that are recollective of Margarita Drago's powerful account from unjustly being arrested in 1975 to being set free in 1980 after five brutal years of interrogation and means of torture to get her to talk about her revolutionary ties. This book brings to light a section of world history rarely touched upon. Drago's insightful and honest language pulls you in as if you were in a cell with her. This book was recommended from a friend and I'm thankful for it. I dont think it is very well known. I wanted to pass the word on to others. If you are into historical non-fiction will be doing yourself a favor by reading this. I know the book is available through amazon.com (thats where I got my copy) but you may also be able to get it through Barnes and Noble (maybe?). If anyone reads it, I would love to hear your feedback. Also if any of you have recommendations let me know. Thanks
