Another work I've scanned, since I was told it's a good read by others.

From the back of the book:

For the first time the real story of the events leading up to the overthrow of the Allende government and the triumph of the bloody Chilean military dictatorship.

Thoroughly documents one of the most notorious crimes ever committed by American imperialism which financed and engineered the coup d'etat.

A scathing expose of the pro-Soviet Chilean Communist Party, their collaboration with the Chilean rightists and military and their role in setting the people up for this tragedy that resulted in the murder of 30,000 Chileans.

A book of far reaching significance that sheds light on the similar maneuvers of the pro-Soviet Communist Parties in France and Italy and their attempts to find a road to power through the "historic compromise" with the U.S.-backed ruling parties.

Jorge Palacios was born in Valparaiso, Chile on November 3, 1926. He is a philosophy professor and journalist and was the Chairman of the Philosophy Department of the University of Chile. A founder and leading member of the Revolutionary Communist Party of Chile, his name was on the liquidation lists that the Junta published at the outset of the coup. With more than half a million other Chileans he was forced into political exile. He now lives in France.Discusses the nature of Allende's government, his economic policies, the domestic and international reaction to them, the reformist illusions sowed by the pro-Soviet revisionists, and the utterly ridiculous claims about the "patriotism" and "service" of the armed forces to the people made by the government and the revisionists right up to the very day of the coup.

This sounds awesome. Real cool you took the time to scan it and put it on the interwebs.

I've had this book on my "to read" list and I plan on reading it soon. Anyone interested in Pinochet, i've only heard good things about this.

Seems very interesting. Also really worth reading is The Condor Years.
