On 11 September 1973, Chile’s President Salvador Allende was overthrown in a coup led by General Augusto Pinochet. The president took refuge in the palace La Moneda, which was bombed by the air force and assaulted by troops. Overwhelmed, the defenders surrendered. In the smouldering ruins Allende lay dead. ‘Goodbye To The President’ is a novel which vividly recounts the terrors of the coup.
