A great distillation of 30 years worth of Chilean history that's personal and fun to read. Doesn't cover everything, obviously, but it's a good place to start. His book on Las Vegas, Last Honest Place in America is great too, the best book on the subject I've read, and I've read most of them.

4 years after reading the book, it's forever on my list of all-time favorite books. This book completely changed the direction of my senior thesis, giving me the first person narrative that I needed to truly understand the Chilean conflict.

recommends it for:
all interested in latin american history
Short, brief - Not good for those who don't know the details of the coup/dictatorship. A good if sad little memoir for those who do.
