Dear Friends:
And that’s still true 40 years after General
Augusto Pinochet took control of Chile on Sept. 11, 1973.
On that date, Pinochet and the military ended a
Socialist government headed by Salvador Allende, whose aim was to convert the South
American country into the second Communist country in the Western Hemisphere.
Cuba was the first.
And since then, the political left has never
forgiven Pinochet for calling for free elections and allowing the development
of Chile’s economy into perhaps the best in Latin America.
And what is this most recent leftist example
critical of Pinochet?
It is a Spanish-language film, called “No.” It was released last year.
The story claimed responsibility for the election
victory of Christian Democrat Patricio Aylwin in 1989. It denied Pinochet a
second eight-year term of office.
A political-historical novel, called “Chile-New
York: the Eleventh of September,” describes exactly what happened.
It is one of six we've done. They can be viewed on
our WebSite: natcarnes.com.

Remember, we are interested in your comments, pro
and con. In other words, that's how we learn.
And please let us know if you want your name taken
off the Caribbean Memo list.
