Críticas:

"Tragic, suspenseful and filled with the tiny personal details that bring history to life ... " -- LA Weekly "Cooper's judicious prose issues forth from the lime-sprinkled sinkhole of Chile's collective amnesia, attempting to construct a beseiged and busted-out past. The author sets a defiant language against the obliterating shadow cast by Pinochet's regime; he strugggles to breathe remembrance into a decades-long nightmare of civilian death, imprisonment, and exile." -- Village Voice" Pinochet and Me provides a passionate first-hand chronicle of Chile's transformation from socialist democracy to brutal, militaristic regime to problematic poster nation for free-market capitalism." - Mother Jones "Cooper wastes no time in nailing the lie - still propagated by Pinochet's apologists - that Allende's regime lacked democratic legitimacy, that torture and assassinations were 'a price worth paying' for economic stability." - The Times Literary Supplement "Rarely does one find a book that is simultaneously so gripping, politically insightful and thouroughly humane in spirit... [Pinochet and Me is] unforgettable." - Shepherd Express, Milwaukee

Reseña del editor:

Marc Cooper was a translator working for the Chilean President when Allende was overthrown by Augusto Pinochet in 1973. in this brief, compelling memoir he recalls his escape from the tightening grip of the junta and his subsequent return visits to a country that is still groping towards democratic recovery.
