Zusatztext

<p>Nobody but the author would have dared to demand that the Chilean military revolution be given the same status as the French or the Russian Revolutions, for their worldly importance, that it deserves, both in socioeconomic matters, in which it pioneered, and even in human rights aspects. For the latter were used against Chile by the USSR and satellites, but finally derived in the main cause of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the iron curtain altogether.
