Andrew Graham-Yooll was a multifaceted Argentine journalist of Scottish origin. In 1966 he joined The Buenos Aires Herald, where he became a political columnist and editorial secretary. His journalistic work investigating the crimes committed before and during the military dictatorship forced him into exile in the land of his ancestry. In London, he worked in the newsrooms of The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian and reinvented himself as a writer. A State of Fear: Memories of Argentina’s Nightmare (Eland Books, 1986) established him as one of the most lucid witnesses to the years of terror in Argentina. In 1982, when the regime of General Leopoldo Galtieri occupied the Falklands–Malvinas, The Guardian sent him to cover the conflict. Threatened by the henchmen of the dictatorship, he had to escape to England, where he edited South Magazine, The Third World Magazine and, between 1989 and 1993, Index on Censorship. He returned indefinitely to Buenos Aires in 1994 to direct the newspaper of his youth and held the presidency of The Buenos Aires Herald directory until 1998. He wrote historical works, essays, poetry and travel books; he devoted himself to translation and literary criticism with the same enthusiasm and professionalism with which he embraced his journalistic life. He died during a visit to London in 2019.
