Searching for Life: The Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo and the Disappeared Children of Argentina Paperback – Illustrated, April 19, 1999

This amazing story is both tragic and infuriating. How could an oppressive regime get away with so blatantly violating the human rights of a countless number of innocent men, women, and children? It goes to show the disregard for human life not only in Latin American governments, but those throughout the world as well (especially the US). The world has gotten so evil the Church will even step aside to give way to such powers.

I chose this rating because this book told of the love and courage of the women of Argentina that lost such ab important part of their lives and had the strength even in the face of death to try to reclaim or find out what had happened to their dissapeared that is something only a mother could do

Very well written very interesting read used it for a history class and it connected with the class goals extremely well.

Tragic story. The grandmothers are courageous and persistent in their pursuit of justice and reuniting of children and their families. I only wish the author had better editing to help the flow of the story and supporting facts.

Well written, if difficult subject matter.

This is a very interesting book. I met the author.

Very well researched, this book is a must for anyone concerned about human rights. It raised my level of social consciousness 5 notches. It was heart wrenching to hear how much the victims who disappeared suffered and the mental anguish of the defient grandmothers who still hold their viligent marches to pressure the Argentine government for answers to the disappearences. Ms. Arditti has really opened my eyes and the facts she presents about how the Catholic Church reacted to the grandmother's is absolutely astounding! Her style in telling this horrible tragedy by hearing from the grandmother's in their own words is very effective.
