Salvador Allende Reader : Chile's Voice of Democracy

Salvador Allende Reader : Chile's Voice of Democracy
- Used Book in Good Condition
On September 11, 1973, General Augusto Pinochet led a bloody coup against President Salvador Allende in Chile. Allende died in the Presidential Palace as it was attacked by Pinochetâ€™s army.

Controversy still surrounds the role of Washington and the CIA in the overthrow of the popularly elected government of Allende, a self-proclaimed Marxist. For decades Allendeâ€™s name and the experience of the Popular Unity government was all but erased from history, not only in Chile but internationally.

This first-ever anthology presents Allendeâ€™s voice and his vision of a more democratic, peaceful and just world to a new generation.

"Â“I donâ€™t see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist because of the irresponsibility of its own people.â€
Henry Kissinger, on the prospect of Allendeâ€™s electoral victory in 1970.

"This anthology is the first collection in English of Allendeâ€™s speeches and interviews . . . and will be of value for academic collections on Latin America."Â—Library Journal
Features a substantial biographical introduction on Allende and an extensive chronology and bibliography.
