====Responses====
The book was published first in English, by [[Alfred A. Knopf|Knopf]] in the United States with [[Ashbel Green (editor)|Ashbel Green]] as senior editor.<ref>McDowell, Edwin.

Domino published it instead.<ref>Rein & Davidi, "Exile of the World" (2010), p. 18.</ref> [[Amos Elon]] noted in an editorial in ''[[Ha'aretz]]'' that "one of the main shareholders of ''Ma'ariv'' has close business ties with Argentina […] Timerman put many people in a bind in this country and at ''Ma'ariv'' by criticizing the [[Menachem Begin|Begin]] government's internal and external policy. The dignitaries and public figures who welcomed him at the airport have distanced themselves from him. We can guess why".<ref>Rein & Davidi, "Exile of the World" (2010), pp. 18–19.</ref>

The Canadian [[Patrick Martin (journalist)|Patrick Martin]] compared ''Prisoner Without a Name'' favorably to works by [[Arthur Koestler]], [[Alexander Solzhenitsyn]], and [[Elie Wiesel]], writing: "But this book is important because the writing is lyrical, even in its horrific detail; because the author is skilful in providing historical respites as the reader travels along the edge of revulsion. It is important also because the events happened today, in this hemisphere. It has never seemed so real".<ref name="Martin1981">[[Patrick Martin (journalist)|Patrick Martin]], "Argentine 'disappearances' never seemed so real", ''Globe and Mail (Canada)'', 30 May 1981.</ref>

President Videla complained to a newly appointed Israeli ambassador in 1980 that Timerman was "orchestrating a campaign to defame Argentina around the world".<ref>Rein & Davidi, "Exile of the World" (2010), p.&nbsp;14–15.</ref> The Argentine government maintained that Timerman had been arrested mostly because of his involvement with David Graiver.<ref name="Rein 2010 p. 15"/> Argentine diplomats continued to pressure Israel on the topic, saying that Timerman "takes the name of the Holocaust in vain by comparing Argentina today with Nazi Germany". Israel reduced its official discussion of Timerman, retracting from the ''Southern Cone'' a pamphlet that discussed awards he received in Israel.<ref>Rein & Davidi, "Exile of the World" (2010), pp. 15–16.</ref>

In 1982, Colonel [[Ramón Camps]] (the Buenos Aires Police Chief who had been directly involved in torturing Timerman) wrote, with assistance from ''La Prensa'' publisher [[Máximo Gainza]], ''Caso Timerman: Punto final'', a response to ''Prisoner Without a Name.''<ref>Knudson, "Veil of Silence" (1997), p. 99. "One index of the close ties between the oligarchical press and the ruling military was that Máximo Gainza, a fourth-generation publisher of ''La Prensa'', collaborated with Colonel Camps in writing the book ''Caso Timerman: Punto final (The Timerman Case: Full Stop)'' in 1982."</ref> He wrote that Timerman "was destroying the bases of society" with ''La Opinión'', particularly its "cultural supplements and section on international politics". He called Timerman a "champion" of [[Marxism]], "the heresy of modern times".<ref name="Rein 2010 pp. 3"/>
