Chile

In 1973, Chile was not living in full democracy or institutional normality. It was living under the misrule of an ideological project that had destroyed the economy, polarized society and broken the very foundations of republican coexistence. The Popular Unity was not the romantic dream of a democratic socialism, but the concrete nightmare of millions of citizens who knew hunger, violence in the streets, planned shortages and the permanent fear of a civil war.Here you will find a critical, solid account that does not shy away from controversy, because history is not written to please, but to clarify. Each chapter of this work deals with a different dimension of the process: from the rise and failure of Salvador Allende, to the economic reconstruction, pacification, international projection and the cultural battle for legitimacy.
