Pinochet. Biografía y política / Pinochet. Military and Political Biography (Spanish Edition)

En la actualidad, cuando una ola reaccionaria recorre el planeta y diferentes voces en distintos países lo reivindican, esta biografía de Augusto Pinochet se vuelve más urgente que nunca. El general Augusto Pinochet integra el panteón de las personalidades más siniestras de la historia. No solo en Chile, donde su régimen se cobró la vida de miles de personas, torturó a tantas otras y destruyó la democracia republicana, sino también a nivel mundial. El golpe de Estado del 11 de septiembre de 1973 que derrocó al presidente Salvador Allende y su posterior dictadura, que se prolongó hasta 1990; la imposición feroz de los principios del neoliberalismo a partir de 1975 y su alto costo en desempleo y hambre, y su detención en Londres en 1998 a petición del juez Baltasar Garzón, fundada en la jurisdicción universal frente a los crímenes de lesa humanidad, lo transforman en un personaje ineludible cuya figura regresa cada cierto tiempo. Amorós, apoyándose en una amplísima documentación inédita, reconstruye la infancia de Pinochet y su vida familiar, relata al detalle su larga trayectoria militar, y desvela episodios ocultos como su participación en la masonería; examina su papel durante el gobierno de Allende y en las horas dramáticas del golpe de Estado, y perfila su ambición de poder, que lo llevó a erigir un régimen que, a partir del terror, refundó Chile desde sus cimientos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Today, when a wave of intolerant views travels around the world and various different countries give it a voice and a platform, this Augusto Pinochet biography becomes more urgent than ever. General Augusto Pinochet is considered one of the most sinister personalities in history. Not only in Chile, where his regime murdered thousands of people, tortured many others, and destroyed Republican democracy, but also worldwide. The coup d'etat on September 11, 1973 that overthrew President Salvador Allende and began Pinochet’s subsequent dictatorship through 1990; his strong push for the principles of neoliberalism; and his arrest in London in 1998 at the request of Judge Baltasar Garzón, based on the universal jurisdiction for crimes against humanity, transform him in an unavoidable character whose figure shows up from time to time. Amorós reconstructs Pinochet's childhood and family life, and with great detail recounts his long military career; he examines Pinochet’s role during Allende's government and in those dramatic hours when the coup took place; and outlines his ambition and thirst for power, which led him to erect a regime based on terror and fear that shook Chile to its core.
