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. The defenders surrendered. In the smouldering ruins Allende lay dead. 'Goodbye To The President' is a novel which recounts in vivid detail the terrors of that day and its brutal aftermath. Years later, Pinochet is arrested in London. Although the former dictator is released and returns to Chile, he dies broken and disgraced.
