The coup had been in the works for months  even years. Shortly after giving a farewell speech to his people  Allende died of gunshot wounds-whether inflicted by his own hand or an assassins remains uncertain. Pinochet ruled Chile for a quarter century  but the short rise and bloody fall of Allende is still the subject of fierce historical debate.  In a world in the throes of the Cold War  the seeming backwater of Chile became the host of a very hot conflict-with Henry Kissinger and the Western establishment aligned with Pinochets insurgents against a socialist coalition of students  workers  Pablo Neruda  and folk singers  led by the brilliant ideologue Allende. Revolution and counterrevolution played out in graphic detail  moving the small South American nation to the center of the world stage in the dramatic autumn of 1973. Now the rising young scholar Oscar Guardiola-Rivera gives us a tour de force account of a historical crossroads  tracing the destiny of democracy  and the paths of power  money  and violence that still shadow Latin America and its relations with the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652308131893,"sku":"ByrdShop_1608198960","price":132.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781608198962.jpg?v=1781850891","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/story-of-a-death-foretold-the-coup-against-salvador-allende-september-11-1973-9781608198962","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
