The coup of September 11, 1973 in Chile shocked the whole world. A military coup took place in one of the richest and most developed countries of Latin America with a European standard of living and a socialist government. The "gorillas" - reactionary pro-American military led by General Augusto Pinochet - came to power. The country plunged into an abyss of bloody terror, obscurantism and social crisis.
How could this have happened? Who helped Pinochet carry out his horrific coup? How did the Chilean and foreign media prepare the people for a change of power in the country? In this classic book, renowned Cuban journalist Lisandro Otero, who lived in Chile during those years, details how U.S. intelligence agencies and major corporations spent three years sabotaging reforms, sponsoring neo-Nazi militants, brainwashing the people, and gradually preparing a terrible, bloody coup that set Chile back many decades in its development. Many of the methods that were tried for the first time at that time were subsequently applied by Western security services in the post-Soviet space.
