A year later they were secretly executed as Chile's military, with U.S. backing, deposed Allende. Following a sham investigation and cover-up, a Chilean defector levelled a stunning but ultimately false accusation: a CIA agent was in the room when one of the killings was ordered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe defector's tale inspired the acclaimed 1982 film \u003cem\u003eMissing\u003c\/em\u003e and established U.S. involvement as the accepted narrative. But \u003cem\u003eChile in Their Hearts\u003c\/em\u003e exposes the tale as a fabrication and leads us to a more intriguing reality. This book will force readers to rethink what they thought they knew about this infamous case. Renowned investigative journalist John Dinges scoured U.S. and Chilean archives and interviewed new witnesses to reveal the true story of the killings and the compelling adventure of the two Americans' lives against the backdrop of U.S. intervention in Chile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47462700515564,"sku":"9780520413191","price":52.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780520413191-chile-in-their-hearts.jpg?v=1775021426"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/john-dinges.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
