Overview

Margaret Donnelly delights us with her talent as a writer and social researcher, as she explains the origins of the Latin American death squads. Reality and fiction come together when former SS experts join the military establishment of Argentina after World War II.

The Song of the Golden Cocks is a novel that brings together secret and true events that reflect voices of the Latin American people, especially those of Venezuela. Such voices speak of economic, historic, political, and social events seen and suffered due to inefficient, corrupt and violent governments. This novel is a journey that reveals Latin America's idiosyncrasies in which greed, thirst for power, and death squads that knew no limits, left entire countries devastated. It is a story without precedent, in which the convergence of facts goes beyond the reader's expectations.
