Product Description

Synopsis

Operation Condor, set up by Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet, was a secret alliance among six Southern Cone intelligence agencies that waged an international dirty war against internal enemies. Between 15,000 and 30,000 people were tortured and murdered as the operation, with funding and operational support from the CIA, ranged across national borders to destroy subversion. Award-winning journalist John Dinges, who was himself interrogated at a secret Chilean torture camp, draws on hundreds of interviews and newly opened secret police files to prove the extent of cooperation between Operation Condor and the United States government. Revolutionaries, spies and military officers - many speaking out for the first time - retell the brutal struggle between Condor and its enemies, alongside the suspenseful present-day narrative of lawyers and judges whose relentless efforts to end the impunity of Condor's perpetrators led to Pinochet's arrest and changed international human rights law forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deeply informative, 1 Aug 2006
By Oliver Blears "ollie81" (Worcester, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book in order to use as a source for my A level coursework, and after reading it have decided to pretty much solely focus my attention on the information derived from Dinges account. He provides a maintained unbiased account of Latin American political repression, American involvement, and the terror inflicted on the people of South America. It is a logical and comprehensive progression through the events that took place before, during and after Condor, often providing personal experiences including a time when the author himself was arrested. I most liked the balance achieved between factual interpretation and pure action such as the gun battle involving Miguel Enriquez.
A unique book in that the author was living in Chile at the time and has obtained an immense amount of factual sources, its written in an appropriate style and I reiterate is of invaluable help to my coursework.
