Although I am not much of a historical fiction fan, I am curious to know the end of this book, most especially to know if the Grays were successful in their escape.
I believe that great success is possible in any field - From music to mathematics to macro trading.

The plot of this book is engrossing. I can't imagine the fear that will be in the mind of Gray concerning hi family. Nice review, and would love to read this book some day Congrats on BOTD.

This is a gripping adventure set in a time of unrest and uncertainty. Trying to protect his family while also fighting for his own life, Peter is faced with decisions and dangers I don't even want to imagine for myself. Thank you for your great review!

This book seems well-written. The plotline sounds intetesting, and the characters are well-developed. How did Peter and his family survive and manage their situation? I would like to read the story in full. Great review.

I've been compelled to finish this book by the reviewers' descriptions of the plot, which seems to be an intriguing story of a protagonist trying to defend his family.

Sounds like an interesting storyline for a book with historical accounts that lends credence to the characters and the setting during that time. Well-written review.

Hmmmm. The plot sounds intriguing and the characters, like they endured so much. The book is a good one. I think it will also be a good exposure to what life was like in the sixties.

Elaine Broun's Carrasco '67 portrays the grasping story of Peter Dark and his family in the possession of the tacky underground Tupamáros during their taking off prevalence in Uruguay around the last part of the '60s. Congrats BOTD!
