Finished reading STORY OF A DEATH FORETOLD by Oscar Guardiola-Rivera. Salvador Allende was a democratically elected President of Chile. He ran a coalition government from September 1970 until his violent death in a coup on September 11, 1973. 

This book is highly analytical, dealing with Allende's political career, his ascension to power, the destabilization of his government by big Chilean and US businesses and the Nixon Administration and, critically, the Chilean Armed Forces. The main goal was to prevent the consolidation of "another Cuba" in Latin America.

STORY OF A DEATH FORETOLD was published on the 40th anniversary of Allende's death.
