{"product_id":"9781590173404","title":"Clandestine in Chile: The Adventures of Miguel Littin","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York Review Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036649996528,"sku":"9781590173404","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590173404_p0.jpg?v=1763802600","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590173404","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
