On My Radar:

The Dark Side of Memory: Uruguay's Disappeared Children and the Families That Never Stopped Searching
by Tessa Bridal
Invisible Ink Publishing
Trade Paperback


From the publisher's website:



The Dark Side of Memory by Tessa Bridal examines the largely unknown history of the state-sponsored kidnapping of children in Uruguay and Argentina during the Cold War. The author interviewed parents, family members, and the children (now adults) for first person accounts detailing the circumstances of the kidnappings and the illegal adoption of newborns from the torture centers where they were born. Mothers and grandmothers, often involved in decades-long searches for their missing children and grandchildren, shared their determined and courageous confrontations with the kidnappers and with the governments and military forces that protected them.
