Book Description
This collection of essays critically examines the rise and fall of Chile’s Popular Unity government under Salvador Allende. Written from a Marxist perspective, the book explores the internal contradictions, missed opportunities, and external pressures—including U.S. intervention—that led to the 1973 military coup. Contributors include Paul Sweezy, James Petras, and others, offering a leftist critique of Chile’s attempt at a peaceful transition to socialism.
