Chile Forum

Can anyone recommend a book on this subject (either in english or spanish). When my wife (Chilena - family fled the country during Allende) and I were dating I read a book called "Chile's Marxist Expirement" though after 25+ years I don't remember who wrote it or what kind of slant it had.

My books are in the States. I will post when I return in a month. Remind me if the intervening month of wine & fun corrodes my memory.

In spanish I reccomend Tomas Moulian´s "Chile, anatomia de un mito" and Augusto Pinochet´s "El dia decisivo", ah also Joaquin Lavin´s "Chile, revolucion silenciosa" and Jose Pinera´s "El cascabel al gato" (nice book)

Neither Moss nor his book "Chile's Marxist Expirement" can be considered reliable. Moss himself was from Oz and a bit of a nut-case. He is better known for his involvement in the study of dreams, which may explain some of the content of his books.
