Circle of Love over Death: Testimonies of the Mothers of the Plaza De Mayo

Rating:
Summary: Circle of Love, Circle of Hearts
Review: I felt that Circle of Love was a really great way to learn about the emotional aspect behind the horrible kidnapping that took place in Argentina during the "dirty war". It did not cover much of the politics of the situation because the book encompassed the testimonies of mothers and grandmothers of the missing. Although the stories were at times redundant and very heart-wrenching, I was able to read the book feeling as though I had learned a great deal. I think anyone can benefit from reading the unbounded love that these women felt for their children and the pain and ridicule that they endured in order to find answers as to where their loved ones had been taken. These stories are REAL women who are still fighting this in hopes that justice might be found.

Summary: Haunting Images from the eyes of a mother
Review: In Circle of love over death, mothers whos children were taken away during the turbulent 70s in Argentina, gave their testomonies of the abduction and what came after. Before I read this book I had no knowledge of this sort of thing ever happening in Argentina. The haunting tales of the mothers showed the pain of losing a child, or children for as little reason as they were helping the poor. This book also showed how these women were able to bond together after the loss of their children to fight for the knowledge of what happened to the children. This book covers the events in Argentina since the 1970s, and describes the pain and horror of the mothers as the search for information about the whereabouts of their children, even twenty years after their abduction. I think this book was very informative and made us aware of situation that was not well publicized in the united states at all.

Summary: Circle of Love
Review: This book really made me realize what happened in Argentina. I could hardly believe what happened to these people. The pain not just the mothers had to go through but the entire country was bad. The title of this book fit the book very well. This circle of love was the only thing that the mothers had to keep themselves together in these hard times. The stories were some what repetative in the book obut they really make the reader aware of the problem in Argentina and what the mothers had to go through. The mothers tried everything to find their chidlren, like most mothers would do for their children.
