Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Tuesday May 27th at 6:30 pm as they welcome John Dinges to the store to discuss and sign Chile in Their Hearts: The Untold Story of Two Americans Who Went Missing After the Coup. Joining him in conversation will be Francisco Letelier.   

Set against the romance of revolution and the terror of a military coup, this arresting mystery is also a reckoning with the callousness of U.S. foreign policy.
 
In 1972 two idealistic young Americans, Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi, arrived in Chile to participate in President Salvador Allende's socialist and democratic revolution. A year later they were secretly executed as Chile's military, with U.S. backing, deposed Allende. Following a sham investigation and cover-up, a Chilean defector leveled a stunning but ultimately false accusation: a CIA agent was in the room when one of the killings was ordered.
