Summary:

Although everything in this imaginative and compelling biography of the martyred Chilean President Salvador Allende (1908-1973) is solidly based on fact, it is cast in the form of a novel. The author shows us an Allende who, at the end, was a lonely fighter desperately struggling for a lost cause, a man who did not have the time to learn the arts of war he needed to defend the cause of freedom and democracy for which he died.
