About this book

Oblivion: A Memoir by Abad, Héctor. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780374223977.

Oblivion is a heartbreaking, exquisitely written memorial to the authors father, Héctor Abad Gómez, whose criticism of the Colombian regime led to his murder by paramilitaries in 1987. Twenty years in the writing, it paints an unforgettable picture of a man who followed his conscience and paid for it with his life during one of the darkest periods in Latin Americas recent history.
