In the early morning hours of August 22, 1972, sixteen men were executed at Almirante Zar base in Trelew after being accused of allegedly trying to escape. Tomas Eloy Martinez, at that time in charge of the weekly publication Panorama, traveled to Trelew to reconstruct the actual events. Readers today can enjoy a revised and updated edition of a work that was first published in 1973, only to be banned and then burnt that same year.
