Dieser Autor befasst sich mit dem komplexen Zusammenspiel von Macht, Menschenrechten und Geheimdiensten, mit besonderem Schwerpunkt auf Lateinamerika. Seine journalistische Arbeit, die von einem theologischen Hintergrund geprägt ist, beleuchtet die geheimen Machenschaften von Diktaturen und das Streben nach Wahrheit. Durch scharfsinnige Berichterstattung wirft er Licht auf unterdrückerische Regime und den fortwährenden Kampf für Gerechtigkeit. Sein Engagement für Transparenz und Rechenschaftspflicht zeigt sich auch in der Gründung von Organisationen für investigative Journalistik.

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.
