Book Synopsis
Argues that steadily mounting pressure from abroad concerning human rights did, in fact, make Pinochet more vulnerable over time and helped stimulate Chile's movement to a liberal democracy.

Trade Review
"By tapping a wealth of material. . . . Hawkins presents a vivid picture of the struggle between hardliners and rule-oriented regime members from day one (September 1, 1973) to the fateful plebiscite in 1988 that ended Pinochet's rule. . . . This clear and thoughtful account should be in all academic collections."—Choice
