This book takes a fresh look at the role the U.S. Government and the Chilean military played in the overthrow of the Allende government. It addresses four specific topics: the official and non-official United States intervention and other "actors" in the international system; special interest groups (the Catholic church, women's organizations, trade unions, and others), the Chilean military, the Political Opposition, the political structure of Chile, and the economic situation; the problems within the decision-making elite; and the pre-crisis period and the events that led to the crisis period.
