Pinochet Part 1: An Arrest in London

We travel to South America. In September 1973, Augusto Pinochet
seizes power in Chile following a coup d’état. The aim is to topple
the country’s socialist president. And it succeeds. But how does
Pinochet - a seemingly unremarkable army man - come to lead the
notorious uprising? And after that, how do he and his wife
consolidate power, remaining in post for 17 long and bloody years?
