"The Pinochet affair is the epic story of the vents that surrounded the dramatic arrest of General Augusto Pinochet in London in October 1998. Beginning his narrative with the violent military coup that Pinochet led on September 11, 1973, Roger Burbach discusses what led the dictator to murder thousand of his own people and to authorize acts of international terrorism in Argentina, Italy and Washington DC. He describes the global clash that ultimately took place in Spain, Britain and chile to bring him to justice, and the impact the Pinochet affair has had around the world as the global human rights community seeks to establish an international regime of justice." From back of book.
