Chile in Their Hearts - John Dinges - Bog

"If what occurred in Chile a half century ago is unforgettable to us today, it is in no small measure thanks to John Dinges and his contributions to our historical memory."--Jon Lee Anderson, staff writer for The New Yorker "Chile in Their Hearts dramatically revisits and revises one of the most heinous human rights crimes committed by the nascent Pinochet regime. Fifty years later, Dinges's intrepid investigation into the murders of Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi provides the fullest, most accurate historical narrative of how and why they were killed."--Peter Kornbluh, author of The Pinochet File: A Declassified Dossier on Atrocity and Accountability "In Chile in Their Hearts, Dinges mines a lifetime of reporting on Chile to unearth the truth about Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi's politically committed lives and their tragic fates following the Pinochet coup. This model of sleuthing and storytelling ends the debate over Washington's involvement in their murders."--Alan McPherson, author of Ghosts of Sheridan Circle: How a Washington Assassination Brought Pinochet's Terror State to Justice "No American journalist has shed more light on the era of South American dictatorships than Dinges. This latest groundbreaking and singular work finally answers once and for all the mystery and controversy as to how two young Americans were murdered days after the 1973 Pinochet coup. A must-read for those seeking hard but revealing truths."--Marc Cooper, author of Pinochet and Me: A Chilean Anti-Memoir
