38 LONDRES STREET On Impunity, Pinochet in England, and a Nazi in Patagonia

Listeners will need patience and some prior interest in the murderous history of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet to fully appreciate this audiobook. While author Philippe Sands is an effective narrator, his range is narrow, and his voice somewhat abrasive. The audiobook is enriched by impressive research and full diligence in interviewing those who labored to bring Pinochet to justice, as well as the many more who suffered at 38 Londres Street, Pinochet's torture center in Santiago. Sands figures in the narrative, too, as he describes his own painstaking investigations. Together, these elements produce a bulky work with numerous names and multiple narratives to follow. Despite all that, the bloody history of Chile under Pinochet demands to be told, and this audiobook gives a thorough, unsparing account.
