On September 11, 1973, General Augusto Pinochet led a bloody coup against President Salvador Allende in Chile. Allende died in the Presidential Palace as it was attacked by Pinochet's army.

This anthology is the first collection in English of Allende's speeches and interviews . . . and will be of value for academic collections on Latin America.--Library Journal Features a substantial biographical introduction on Allende and an extensive chronology and bibliography.
