Incensed by what he perceived as injustices in the treatment of former members of Argentine's military dictatorship, retired navy officer Francisco Scilingo stunned his countrymen and the world by openly confessing to his own participation in the practice of pushing live political dissidents out of airplanes over the South Atlantic during the course of Argentina's dirty war. In a series of interviews with Horacio Verbitsky, Scilingo confirms what was rumoured for years but always denied by the Argentine military. He recounts his inside knowledge of the monstrous campaign of systematic torture and death waged by the military from 1976 to 1983, he details the military's practice of rotating personnal so that everyone including the officers would be complicit, and he talks about the Church's awareness and seeming endorsement of many of the atrocities.

DESCRIPTION - RETIRED NAVY OFFICER Francisco Scilingo is the first man ever to break the Argentine military's pact of silence. Incensed by what he perceived as unjust treatment of former Argentine military officials, Scilingo stunned his compatriots and the world by openly confessing his participation in the hideous practice of pushing live political dissidents out of airplanes over the South Atlantic during Argentina's dirty war. THE FLIGHT makes available to English-language readers for the first time the complete text of Scilingo's confession, offered as interviews with Argentina's best-known investigative journalist, Horacio Verbitsky. In these interviews, Scilingo confirms what was rumored for years, but always denied by the Argentine military. He recounts his inside knowledge of and participation in the monstrous campaign of systematic torture and death waged by the military from 1976 to 1983; he details the military's practice of rotating personnel so that everyone, including ranking officers, would be complicit; and he talks about the Church's awareness and seeming endorsement of many atrocities. Scilingo's candid admissions offer unique insights into the psychology of guilt and present a riveting study of human behavior at its worst. This first English translation of the Argentine bestseller also includes a new chapter on the reactions to Scilingo's confession in Argentina and an afterword By Juan Mendez, General Counsel of Human Rights Watch, that places the confession in the context of other atrocities around the world. inventory #22986.
