Turning Points for Nations in Crisis
This book has already discussed two countries — Chile and Indonesia — where breakdown of political compromise led to one side imposing a military dictatorship whose explicit goal was to exterminate the other side. That prospect still seems absurd to most Americans. It also would have seemed absurd to my Chilean friends when I lived there in 1967, if anyone had espressed fears then of that possible outcome. Yet it did happen in Chile in 1973.
