About the Book

The idea of an 'other' September 11 must seem incredible tosome. But as Ariel Dorfman comments: 'During the last 28 years, September 11 hasbeen a date of mourning, for me and millions of others.' Chile: The OtherSeptember 11 recounts the time when the Chilean armed forces, under Pinochet, ousted thedemocratically-elected government of President Allende in a coup. It reminds usthat the horror visited upon the Chilean people on that day and for nearly twodecades thereafter was a result of continuous U.S. involvement in that country.As the U.S., after its own September 11, has embarked on an ambitious and brutalimperial offensive, it is important to remind ourselves that the history of thisimperialism goes back a long way, as does the history of resistance to it.
