La Guerra Sucia

The title of this book is offensive and paints an image of equal sides at war rather than an abusive dictatorship acting to oppress a people. Our hosts while my class studied abroad in Argentina did not appreciate that we were reading it. The content aligns with title, and the story feels unfinished. The use of the Spanish language is accessible to intermediate learners and the glossary is helpful.
