Tento autor skúma zložité vzťahy medzi mocou, ľudskými právami a spravodajskými službami, so zvláštnym zameraním na Latinskú Ameriku. Jeho novinárska práca, ovplyvnená predchádzajúcim štúdiom teológie, sa ponára do temných zákutí diktatúr a tajných operácií. Prostredníctvom svojej publicistiky odhaľuje pravdu o utláčateľských režimoch a boji za spravodlivosť. Jeho snaha o transparentnosť a zodpovednosť ho viedla k založeniu viacerých investigatívnych novinárskych organizácií.
The author describes how the notion of place has been eliminated from
discourse in Western society by a long and complex process that he attempts to
trace in the first chapter of this study. The focus of the book is on the
importance and relevance of location with regard to Christ. schovat popis
Throughout the 1970s, six Latin American governments led by Chile formed a military alliance called Operation Condor to carry out kidnappings, torture, and political assassinations across three continents. It was an early “war on terror” initially encouraged by the CIA which later backfired on the United States.Hailed by Foreign Affairs as “remarkable” and “a major contribution to the historical record,” The Condor Years uncovers the unsettling facts about the secret U.S. relationship with the dictators who created this terrorist organization. Written by award-winning journalist John Dinges and newly updated to include recent developments in the prosecution of Pinochet, the book is a chilling but dispassionately told history of one of Latin America’s darkest eras. Dinges, himself interrogated in a Chilean torture camp, interviewed participants on both sides and examined thousands of previously secret documents to take the reader inside this underground world of military operatives and diplomats, right-wing spies and left-wing revolutionaries.
