Under violent military dictatorship, Operation Condor and the Dirty War scarred Argentina from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. But what about the other Dirty War, during which Argentine civilians and foreign powers ignored the state's crimes against humanity? David Sheinin draws on previously classified government documents, human rights lawsuits, and propaganda to illustrate the military-constructed fantasy of bloodshed as a public defense of human rights.
