This work tells the epic story of the arrest of General Augusto
Pinochet in London in October 1998, and the events surrounding it.
It begins with Pinochet's violent military coup against the
democratically elected government of Salvador Allende on September
11, 1973. It probes the sociopathic, paranoid and authoritarian
tendencies that led him to murder thousands of people in Chile
while authorizing acts of international terrorism in Argentina,
Italy and Washington D.C. In response to his brutal reign, a human
rights movement was forged that played a critical role in finally
ousting the dictator in 1990. But even out of office, his power was
such that he suppressed all efforts to prosecute him, until his
detention in London. The book describes the clash between the
politicians who sought to cover up and wash their hands of
Pinochet, and the judges, lawyers and human rights organizations.
And it discusses the implications of the affair for an
international regime of justice.
