Oscar Guardiola-Rivera (2014 event)

Colombian-born writer Oscar Guardiola-Rivera’s riveting Story of
a Death Foretold lays bare the Cold War paranoia and rabid
anti-communism which led to the downfall of Salvador Allende,
Latin America’s first democratically-elected Marxist president.
In this event, recorded live at the 2014 Edinburgh International
Book Festival, Guardiola-Rivera looks at why Allende was deposed
in a violent coup and explores how business leaders and military
officers in Chile been collaborating with the US Government and
the CIA for months to end his regime.
