Octavo in light orange DJ; x, 274 p, b&w maps ; 22 cm. Chile; History; Politics. || Salvador Allende, President of Chile, died during the Chilean coup of 1973 by the Chilean Army Commander-in-Chief Augusto Pinochet. Although he reportedly committed suicide shortly after giving a radio speech to the Chilean people, there has been great controversy regarding the circumstances of his death. Allende supporters have always dismissed the military junta's version events because they believe he was assassinated. Several investigations have been undertaken into the circumstances surrounding Allende's death.
