Chile: The Other September 11 — An Anthology of Reflections on the 1973 Coup

$11.95

"Most people associate September 11 with the World Trade Center tragedy. But before 2001, September 11 was already a day of infamy for Latin America and Chile in particular. On that day in 1973, General Augusto Pinochet led a U.S.-backed coup against the popularly elected government of Salvador Allende, and began his repressive 17-year dictatorship. An interesting and nostalgic collection." —Criticas

With reflections on another day of terror and tragedy, this anthology includes Ariel Dorfman's poignant essay, "The Last September 11," poetry by Pablo Neruda, the song composed by Chilean Víctor Jara just before his brutal murder, and President Allende's final radio broadcast to the nation, along with resonant speeches by Fidel Castro and Allende's daughter, Beatriz.
