Near midnight on October 16, 1998, officers of Scotland Yard
entered the London hospital room of former Chilean dictator Augusto
Pinochet and arrested him on charges of torturing and murdering
Spanish citizens. The arrest sent shockwaves around the world,
delighting his detractors and the families of his regime's victims,
and dismaying his supporters, including Margaret Thatcher. It
marked the first time a former head of state had been detained
outside his own country on charges of crimes against humanity, and
thus signaled a clear warning to former dictators and heads of
abusive regimes.
Through interviews, eyewitness accounts, and new sources,
veteran journalist Hugh O'Shaughnessy here sifts through the
General's personal life, rise to power, and arrest and internment.
In clear, unforgiving prose, Pinochet: The Politics of Torture
tells the riveting story of legal intrigue behind the search for
justice.
