gn606's review against another edition
4.0
A quick read about the events that took place on 9/11 1973 told from various perspectives. I agree with other reviewers who enjoyed the first half of the book than the second half. Joan Jara's testimony brought me to tears and I couldn't imagine losing so much in just a few days. And while I found Castro's speech slightly redundant there were still many inspiring quotes within it. Would recommend if you want to get a holistic view of the 1973 coup, would not recommend if you want a chronological account of how the events unfolded.

Outstanding first-hand memoirs of Chile after the coup d'etat. Easy to read, and highly ideological and emotional. It is not a history book, but rather a collection of testimonies of people close to Allende and his government.
