For ten hair-raising years, Andrew Graham-Yooll was the news editor of the Buenos Aires Herald. All around him friends and acquaintances were "disappearing". Although the slightest mistake might have caused his own disappearance, he did not shrink from getting firsthand experience of this war of terror; he attended clandestine guerilla conferences, helped relatives trace the missing, and took tea with a torturer who was not ashamed to make the most chilling confessions.

"It is one of the most affecting books I have ever read."
Nicholas Shakespeare, The Times
"I have never read any book that so conveys what it is like to live in a state of permanent fear."
Graham Greene, Observer
"A State of Fear will appeal to those who relish a sophisticated, understated, real-life thriller, to students of Argentinian politics, to anyone interested in psychology of terrorism used as an instrument of government and to all readers who enjoy supremely good writing for its own sake – whatever the subject."
Dervla Murphy, Good Book Guide
