Book tells how La Prensa fell to hostile forces in Argentina
A history of La Prensa from its 1869 founding to its 1951 seizure by the Peron government. The English edition recounts the 1951 union pressure, the ambush at the printing plant, and the paper's closing while noting the editors’ claim that true La Prensa endures as a spirit of freedom beyond expropriation.
