SUMMARY:Resisting Authoritarianism: The Political Journey and Mysterious D
 eaths of Two Young Americans in Pinochet’s Chile.
LOCATION:PSB 120
DESCRIPTION:John Dinges was one of hundreds of young idealists who gathere
 d in Chile to experience the revolution that began with the election of P
 resident Salvador Allende. Allende\, though an avowed Marxist\, promised 
 real democracy and real social change. Many who came were political exile
 s from South American countries that had already become military dictator
 ships. It was a political journey full of hope\; it ended in a military c
 oup\, encouraged by the United States\, in which thousands were rounded u
 p and executed. Two Norteamericanos—Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi—came
  to support Allende and ended up being secretly executed in the first day
 s after the coup. Their murders inspired the Hollywood movie Missing. Joh
 n Dinges’s book\, Chile in Their Hearts\, unravels the mystery of how and
  who they were killed\, and takes you with him on his investigation. (Spo
 iler: the movie got much of it wrong.) His surprising findings shed light
  not only on an iconic period in Latin America but provide signposts for 
 the current slide toward authoritarianism in the United States.\n\nJohn D
 inges is the Godfrey Lowell Cabot Professor of International Journalism E
 meritus. He was a freelance journalist in Chile during the Allende govern
 ment and for five years during the Pinochet dictatorship\, writing for Ti
 me\, The Washington Post and other media. His latest book\, Chile in Thei
 r Hearts (University of California Press 2025\, completes a trilogy on Ch
 ile during its most turbulent years\, which includes Assassination\n\nhtt
