Written by the current Chilean Ambassador to the UN, this definitive book is a compelling look at former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, revealing why he was the most important third-world leader of the Cold War, the horrors perpetrated by his regime, and what it took to overthrow him.Augusto Pinochet was the most important third-world dictator of the Cold War. Put in place with the help and blessing of the US, the Pinochet regime was the main testing ground for monetarist economic theories; at one point a group of Milton Friedman disciples, known as 'The Chicago Boys', was effectively running Chilean economic policy. For Western conservatives, the state terror was simply the price necessary to be paid in order to fight off communist influence while building a modern industrial state. But the questions raised by Pinochet's rule still remain: are such dictators somehow necessary? And do these kinds of interventions, whether to fight communism or terrorism, ever have their intended effect? Whose interests do they ultimately serve?In "The Dictator's Shadow", Ambassador Heraldo Munoz, the Permanent Representative of Chile to the U.N., takes advantage of his unmatched set of perspectives - as a former revolutionary, as a respected scholar of international relations, and as a working diplomat - to explore what this extraordinary figure and his terrible regime meant to the people of Chile, to the United States, and to the world.
