Review Quotes:
"This is a much-needed account of Allende's life, showing the consistency of his political project and arguing persuasively that he was always at heart a revolutionary. Figueroa Clark's study shows the relevance of the Chilean experience to current developments in several Latin American nations which have proclaimed '21st Century Socialism' as their goal." - Diana Raby, Senior Fellow, University of Liverpool
"Figueroa-Clark provides an excellent book on a very interesting Latin American political figure that deserves to be recuperated." - Jorge Arrate, economic adviser and Minister for Mining under Salvador Allende
