John Hickman describes Chile's recent experience in its regional and historical setting.
He examines the reforms undertaken by the Christian Democrats in the 1960s; the political earthquake which followed the election of Salvador Allende and the Popular Unity coalition; the coup of 1973 and the subsequent ruthless repression of opposition by the military regime of General Pinochet; and the eventual economic renaissance within a free market system introduced by Pinochet, which made Chile's economy the most successful in Latin America.
This book presents a new view of the bitter conflicts of the 1970s and '80s and the struggle to restore democratic government which ended with the defeat of Pinochet in 1988-9. Finally it offers a preliminary assessment of the civilian governments of Patricio Aylwin and Eduardo Frei since 1990.
