Battling for Hearts and Minds: Memory Struggles in Pinochet’s Chile, 1973–1988
by Steve J Stern
This is an extraordinarily moving book. It really does tell of the story of people who, in the most appalling circumstances, tried to defend liberty. Not people who were necessarily very much on the left but just ordinary decent democrats. And what he does very well is to say that both sides are trying to construct a memory. So you have these two ideologies in conflict and people remember what’s appropriate to their set of ideas rather than having an objective view of what was going on.

Marshalling one of the first ever televised coups, Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet’s legacy is fraught. While some apologists try to justify the dictatorship on economic grounds, his time in office saw innumerable human rights abuses. Alan Angell, Emeritus Fellow in Latin American Politics at the University of Oxford, considers the regime of “a very cruel man.”
