TNI and the Pinochet precedent

A devastating political document that probes all aspects of the Letelier-Moffitt assassinations, interweaving the investigations of the murder by the FBI and the Institute for Policy Studies. The story surpasses the most sophisticated fiction in depth of characterisation at the same time that it raises serious and tantalising questions about the response of American intelligence and foreign policy to international terrorism.
