Description: En 1982 dos viajeros ingenuos llegaron a Paraguay para, como turistas, conocer al país. Por una pregunta trivial, la pareja fue detenida por la policía política bajo la sospecha oficial de ser terroristas. Fueron obligados de quedarse frente a una cámara de tortura, incomunicados, hasta lograr escaparse por un descuido de los oficiales. Siete años más tarde, el dictador Alfredo Stroessner fue derrocado mediante un golpe de estado. Sin embargo, la historia no terminaría sino hasta un cuarto de siglo después del fin de la dictadura. Fue cuando el autor logró establecer contacto con el Dr Martín Almada – el desenterrador de los Archivos del Terror. Este libro – minuciosamente investigado, y con las experiencias personales del autor integradas – documenta la turbia vida de Alfredo Stroessner, el dictador más longevo de Sudamérica durante el siglo XX. También revela la habilidad política del astuto dictador; la corrupción que fomentaba; la protección que otorgaba a nazis fugitivos y terroristas; las torturas que presenciaba; el narcotráfico bajo su supervisión; sus aberraciones sexuales; los abusos de sus secuaces; y, su participación en el pacto del Cono Sur – la Operación Cóndor.“Part historical text and part political thriller frightening in its reality, El Reino del Terror presents a wealth of information on a tormented era in Latin America’s history. In this true story, Ekemar offers a detailed investigation of one of the most vicious and corrupt dictatorships that the South American continent has ever known. Alfredo Stroessner’s thirty-five-year regime was the longest-lasting dictatorship in twentieth-century South America. Ekemar’s narrative, supported by personal experience and extensive research, paints a chilling picture of the pervasive human rights violations of his iron-fisted rule, which was marked by personal and political corruption, sexual depravity, and the protection of Nazi fugitives, drug traffickers, and terrorists. The text contains reminders that the practice of torture was extensive under Stroessner, with political activists, journalists, peasants, teachers, intellectuals, indigenous tribes, children, and pregnant women among the targeted. Victims were flown out over the Paraná River and dropped to their deaths from airplanes. Ekemar also reveals the extent to which the United States knew about, and was responsible for, the abuses that took place during “Operation Condor,” a Cold War-era campaign of political repression and state terror that involved intelligence operations and the assassination of opponents in South America and elsewhere. The program was intended to eradicate communism and Soviet influence in Latin America’s Southern Cone; sadly, one of the methods used was to prop up brutal right-wing dictatorships in the countries involved, supporting them with funds, training in effective methods of torture, and more. The book vividly and meticulously describes the treatment that Ekemar and his wife received while detained by the Paraguayan police. Front cover art, while graphic and disturbing, is appropriate for the nature and content of the book. To facilitate personal research, Ekemar has included ample listings of data, statistics, and online resources. Part historical text and part political thriller frightening in its reality, El Reino del Terror presents a wealth of information on a tormented era in Latin America’s history. It is a powerful call for the truth to be recognized and taught, and a warning to us all of the perils of failing to honor our human rights and guard our freedom.” – Clarion Foreword Reviews“Este libro es el producto de una flagrante violación a los derechos humanos que el autor personalmente vivió en 1982. Era la década de ‘plomo’, es decir, la época del vuelo del Cóndor, el pacto criminal militar oficializado en Santiago de Chile el 25 de noviembre de 1975 para supuestamente salvar al Cono Sur de América Latina de las garras del comunismo ateo y apátrida. Paraguay vivió con terror este periódo, y el libro de Kim Ekemar es un valioso aporte para conocer la historia reciente del país – especialmente para las nuevas generaciones, necesitadas de saber lo ocurrido en aquellos años como parte fundamental de una educación basada en la verdad y no en el falseamiento del pasado. En el fondo El Reino del Terror es una crítica directa a la institucionalización del Estado al margen de la ley en Paraguay. Este libro va a resultar con el tiempo una base fundamental para el gran debate en las aulas de los colegios secundarios y universitarios, en los centros de cultura y –porqué no– en el seno del propio Congreso Nacional del Paraguay.” – Dr. Martín Almada, Premio Nobel Alternativo, y miembro del Comité Ejecutivo de la Asociación Americana de Juristas (AAJ)El “Reino del Terror” efectivamente sumerge al lector en una atmósfera de pesadilla. Es un testimonio sincero de primera mano acerca de una de las dictaduras más feroces que asolara... We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
