A good read about how activists in Brazil and Uruguay dealt with the legacy of torture under their respective military dictatorships. I appreciated two things about this book: 1. The indepth discussion of how the regimes came into place and the role of the U.S. in their ascension to power; 2. The focus on what everyday people - not courts or NGOs or whatever - did to try to first educate people about the military's atrocities and then to get accountability.

No happy endings here, though.
