Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A compelling and shocking account of a brutal campaign of repression in Latin America, based on interviews and previously secret documents (The Miami Herald).Throughout the 1970s, six Latin American governments, led by Chile, formed a military alliance called Operation Condor to carry out kidnappings, torture, and political assassinations across three continents. It was an early war on terror initially encouraged by the CIAwhich later backfired on the United States.Hailed by Foreign Affairs as remarkable and a major contribution to the historical record, The Condor Years uncovers the unsettling facts about the secret US relationship with the dictators who created this terrorist organization. Written by awardwinning journalist John Dinges and updated to include later developments in the prosecution of Pinochet, the book is a chilling yet dispassionately told history of one of Latin Americas darkest eras. Dinges, himself interrogated in a Chilean torture camp, interviewed participants on both sides and examined thousands of previously secret documents to take the reader inside this underground world of military operatives and diplomats, rightwing spies and leftwing revolutionaries.Scrupulous, welldocumented. The Washington PostNobody knows what went wrong inside Chile like John Dinges. Seymour Hersh
