Description

Sheila Cassidy's memoir is a powerful account of her experiences as a young doctor in Chile. In 1973, she was arrested and imprisoned for her involvement with the medical opposition to the Pinochet regime. During her time in prison, Cassidy faced torture and other forms of mistreatment. Her story is one of courage and resilience in the face of extreme adversity. After her release from prison, Cassidy continued to work towards human rights and social justice. This book provides a unique perspective on Chile's tumultuous history and the impact of political repression on individuals and communities.
