Synopsis

Amidst the flood of books on 9/11, the editors remind readers that September 11 is the anniversary of another horrendous event--General Pinochet's coup against the democratically elected government of President Salvador Allende. Includes articles, essays, speeches and poems by Ariel Dorfman, Salvador Allende, Pablo Neruda, Beatriz Allende, Victor Jara, Muriel Rukeyser and Fidel Castro.

What happened in Chile remains highly controversial as shown by legal challenges to General Pinochet and Henry Kissinger.
