The new dictator, General Augusto Pinochet, instituted a reign of terror and turned Chile into a laboratory to test the poisonous prescriptions of the American economist Milton Friedman. In 1985, Litt n returned to Chile disguised as a Uruguayan businessman. He was desperate to see the homeland he'd been exiled from for so many years; he also meant to pull off a very tricky stunt: with the help of three film crews from three different countries, each supposedly busy making a movie to promote tourism, he would secretly put together a film that would tell the truth about Pinochet's benighted Chile--a film that would capture the world's attention while landing the general and his secret police with a very visible black eye. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfterwards, the great novelist Gabriel Garc a M rquez sat down with Litt n to hear the story of his escapade, with all its scary, comic, and not-a-little surreal ups and downs. Then, applying the same unequaled gifts that had already gained him a Nobel Prize, Garc a M rquez wrote it down.\u003ci\u003e Clandestine in Chile\u003c\/i\u003e is a true-life adventure story and a classic of modern reportage.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53481163686161,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781590173404.jpg?v=1777557659","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-clandestine-in-chile-by-gabriel-garcia-marquez","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
