{"product_id":"clandestine-in-chile","title":"Clandestine in Chile","description":"In 1973, the film director Miguel Littín fled Chile after a U.S.-supported military coup toppled the democratically elected socialist government of Salvador Allende. The new dictator, General Augusto Pinochet, instituted a reign of terror and turned Chile into a laboratory to test the poisonous prescriptions of the American economist Milton Friedman. In 1985, Littín returned to Chile disguised as a Uruguayan businessman. He was desperate to see the homeland he'd been exiled from for so many years; he also meant to pull off a very tricky stunt: with the help of three film crews from three different countries, each supposedly busy making a movie to promote tourism, he would secretly put together a film that would tell the truth about Pinochet's benighted Chile--a film that would capture the world's attention while landing the general and his secret police with a very visible black eye. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfterwards, the great novelist Gabriel García Márquez sat down with Littín to hear the story of his escapade, with all its scary, comic, and not-a-little surreal ups and downs. Then, applying the same unequaled gifts that had already gained him a Nobel Prize, García Márquez wrote it down.\u003ci\u003e Clandestine in Chile\u003c\/i\u003e is a true-life adventure story and a classic of modern reportage.","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46609530945705,"sku":"PHBK-9781590173404","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/content_6d4e0354-48a0-4c24-abeb-aa7cecaf98bd.jpg?v=1764704794","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/clandestine-in-chile","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
