This is a thoughtful examination of the identity building process Argentinean revolutionary activist underwent from 1960 to 1995. By telling the life story of individuals involved in armed struggle in Argentina, it contributes to explaining political identity building as a lifelong process of political learning, which occurs when the private, public and political lives intersect. The reader will find out that the process encloses elements of change as well as of continuity throughout three stages of identity building (early, revolutionary, and post-revolutionary). The common result of the surviving activists' political learning is a tremendous shift from revolutionary armed methods toward a new appreciation of liberal and democratic values. Through the lives of these individuals, the author depicts a vivid overview of Argentine political history and culture.
