Success of original edition: This is a fully revised and updated edition of a classic, critically-acclaimed book, reframed for a new generation of readers. The Condor Years sold over 10K in all editions.
New and newsworthy material: Three quarters of the new edition is totally new material based on access to newly declassified FBI and CIA archives, including whole new chapters on the U.S. involvement in the assassination scheme. The story of the book itself is newsworthy, as evidence of Condor continues to be uncovered in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, and in the United States.
Revived interest in Chile: The nation's radically democratic constitution is in the news, including the front pages of the New York Times, following the success of a left-wing coalition last year.
Newsworthy: Describes how authoritarian regimes collaborate with one another to go after their enemies; author is eager to speak about the relevance to today-from Russia to China and beyond.
Author platform: Dinges is the leading expert on authoritarian regimes in Latin America, widely published in mainstream media, and is renowned among human rights experts for first exposing Operation Condor.
Endorsements: We will add new endorsements for this edition from prominent authors including Philippe Sands, Greg Grandin, and Eduardo Galeano.
