Chile 

Military dictators have long practiced policies of persecution, terror, and mass murder to consolidate political power. The essays in this volume document the brutal subjugation that Chileans suffered under the rule of Pinochet. Background information and first person accounts of the events are provided, to give the reader a more rounded knowledge of the events. Charts and graphs are provided to summarize important statistical information, and timelines are included to help the reader trace the sequence of events. Maps provide details about the areas of contention, and locations of conflicts.
