Summary: Circle of Love Over Death
Comment: "Our children were not taken as prisoners from a battlefield; totally defenseless, they were abducted from their homes, from the street, from their places of study and work. Our struggle has taken years of ceaseless searching and every other possible method, but it has been carried out by legal, constitutional, non-violent methods-with a clean face."
Circle of Love Over Death gives you a first hand testimony into the horrors and ugliness that Argentina battled through for many years. Through the eyes of each of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, you find an emotional and physical struggle to find the answers that they were never given, where their children are. This book touches on every human emotion possible and really gives you a true understanding of how one political force can take out an entire country.

Summary: Circle of Love, Circle of Hearts
Comment: 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
Comment: 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.
