Paul Sigmund, who has studied Chile for more than a decade, and lived
and taught there, offers an exhaustive, balanced analysis of the
overthrow of Salvador Allende, and why it occurred. Sigmund examines the
Allende government, the Frei government that preceeded it, the coup
that ended it, and the Pinochet government that succeeded it. He also
views the roles of various Chilean political and interest groups, the
CIA, and U.S. corporations.
