商品簡介
Operation Condor was the name given to a joint military alliance of six Latin American countries, led by General Augusto Pinochet's Chile, which organized kidnappings, torture, and political assassinations of leftist opponents throughout the 1970s. The CIA was complicit in the mission from its outset.
Hailed by Foreign Affairs as "remarkable" and "a major contribution to the historical record," The Condor Years uncovers the unsettling facts about the covert U.S. relationship with the dictators who created this terrorist organization. Dinges, who was himself interrogated in a Chilean torture camp, has interviewed participants on both sides and examined thousands of previously secret documents to take the reader inside this underground world of military operatives and diplomats, right-wing spies and left-wing revolutionaries. With a new afterword on recent developments in the ongoing prosecution of Pinochet, The Condor Years is a chilling but dispassionately told history of one of Latin America's darkest eras.
