It was an early “war on terror” initially encouraged by the CIA—which later backfired on the United States.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Hailed by \u003ci\u003eForeign Affairs\u003c\/i\u003e as “remarkable” and “a major contribution to the historical record,” \u003ci\u003eThe Condor Years\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers the unsettling facts about the secret US relationship with the dictators who created this terrorist organization. Written by award-winning journalist John Dinges and updated to include later developments in the prosecution of Pinochet, the book is a chilling yet dispassionately told history of one of Latin America’s darkest eras. Dinges, himself interrogated in a Chilean torture camp, interviewed participants on both sides and examined thousands of previously secret documents to take the reader inside this underground world of military operatives and diplomats, right-wing spies and left-wing revolutionaries.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Scrupulous, well-documented.” —\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Nobody knows what went wrong inside Chile like John Dinges.” —Seymour Hersh","brand":"John Dinges","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48283782840571,"sku":"9781565849778","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_ffd9b487-1952-42c0-a287-17cdfa9ed322.jpg?v=1771476338","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-condor-years-9781565849778","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
