It was an early \"war on terror\" initially encouraged by the CIA--which later backfired on the United States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Hailed by \u003ci\u003eForeign Affairs\u003c\/i\u003e as \"remarkable\" and \"a major contribution to the historical record,\" \u003ci\u003eThe Condor Years\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers the unsettling facts about the secret US relationship with the dictators who created this terrorist organization. Written by award-winning journalist John Dinges and updated to include later developments in the prosecution of Pinochet, the book is a chilling yet dispassionately told history of one of Latin America's darkest eras. Dinges, himself interrogated in a Chilean torture camp, interviewed participants on both sides and examined thousands of previously secret documents to take the reader inside this underground world of military operatives and diplomats, right-wing spies and left-wing revolutionaries. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Scrupulous, well-documented.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Nobody knows what went wrong inside Chile like John Dinges.\" --Seymour Hersh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Dinges\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1565849779\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781565849778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 6.34w x 1.05d","brand":"John Dinges","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046565146879,"sku":"9781565849778","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1da68a52-26b1-4010-9018-5dde0aa03ea4.jpg?v=1684985272","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-condor-years-john-dinges-9781565849778","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
