Whelan reviews Chilean political history up to 1989. He carefully traces the circumstances leading to the military takeover in September of 1973. He presents the changes brought by the military government and highlights the process involved in reestablishing and redefining democracy in Chile. His work is meticulously documented. This helps to sustantiate his observations and argument, but at times his extensive use of tables tends to become tedious.
