Chile in Their Hearts

""[Dinges's] conclusions are triumphs for intellectual honesty."" * The Wall Street Journal * “With his unique credibility on the topic, Dinges eschews ideological presumptions for a dogged, comprehensive investigation of the facts. His courageous findings debunk the conventional wisdom reflected and amplified by Missing: there is no evidence that the U.S. government was involved.” * Foreign Affairs * “Chile in Their Hearts may read like a true-crime novel . . . [yet] Dinges is quite convincing in criticizing US and Chilean investigators.” * The Nation * “Chile in Their Hearts reads like a nuanced crime novel that tells the story of soulless bureaucrats, hopeful revolutionaries and bloodthirsty fascists.” * CounterPunch * ""Reads like a riveting true-crimework . . . Remarkably well sourced and fair, Chile in Their Hearts is a memorable work about a lamentable historical episode."" * Times Literary Supplement * “Most importantly, Chile in Their Hearts tells the untold story of the two Americans, resurrecting Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi as conscientious defenders of Allende’s revolution — portraits of their personal and political journeys that have been missing from previous coverage of their cases.” * Truthdig * “This new account by John Dinges aims to sift the facts from the fictionalised account, focusing on the issue of supposed collusion of US officials in the killing of the two men.” * Labour Hub * “[Dinges] is a living monument to hard-hitting investigative journalism and I marvel at his tenacity and rigorous sticking to the facts. . . . Chile In Their Hearts is a must-read, and an excellent read for anybody interested in Latin America, the era of dirty war dictatorships, and the grotesque contours of U.S. foreign policy in the region.” * The Coop Scoop *
