Superb Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Mr. Munioz has provided a detailed, interesting account of President Pinochet's rule and the concerted effort to re-establish democracy in Chile. I was particularly interested in the steps taken to pry Pinochet from power. For those of us with great fondness for Chile and her people, this was a wonderful story of how Chileans reinstated democratic rule which had so long been their birthright. Chile vencera', indeed.
A great read

This is a serene , well written and easy to read annalysis of a cruel period in the history of Chile. A must for those who want to learn from the mistakes of the past and to learn that repression, hate, absence of the rule of law and of political freedom are not the only possible ways to accomplish economic prosperity and stability for the nations.
