In 1973, Chile was on the brink of revolution. A democratically elected socialist president, Salvador Allende, had promised to reshape the nation-creating a new world of equality, justice, and independence. But on September 11, that dream was crushed in a violent military coup that would change the course of Chile's history-and the history of Latin America forever.
