Scilingo as it happens suffered from nightmares and depression.
He is a curious case in his own way. Loyal to the idea of the Navy--obedience to the chain of command--he is mystified that those upper level Naval officers who did their level best to enable the atrocities commited by their charges won't defend the policies or the men they ordered to undertake them--in fact, still in many cases work the system for promotions while their former underlings take the heat.
The interviews between him and Verbitsky go back and forth on issues of military discipline, obedience and trust crossing a line into criminality. I at least found them riveting. In any case, it's an interesting book--to think that it could not happen here--well I think there is parallel between these events described here and Abu Ghraib.
Much of what Scilingo describes is straight forward and graphic and includes not only the murder of innocents but descriptions of torture as well. Scilingo as it happens though was not a major figure--he happened to be like most other Argentine naval personnel just another person that the regime wanted to make in part culpable for the policies they were undertaking.
In that regard they would continuously transfer their personnel in and out so that everyone would get a taste. Many of these same policymakers went on to higher positions. Scilingo as it happens--a minor figure all in all now sits in a Spanish prison while some of the most truly barbaric perpetrators of torture and murder in the dirty war continue to use the courts to stay out of harms way. So much for whistle blowing. Comparative genocide. Horacio Verbitsky.

FEBeyer Oct 25, Although this is a significant historical document it is a essentially a journalistic account involving protagonists and does not provide a dispassionate historical overview of the 'dirty war'.
