We would also suggest reading:
- Chile: The Threatening Catastrophe
1971
Written by Alan Woods in September 1971, two years before Pinochet's military coup. Warned
against the threat of a military coup if the Popular Unity government failed to mobilise
the masses and carry out a genuine socialist programme.
- Lessons of Chile 1973
The arrest of former Chilean dictator Pinochet in London has generated a lot interest
about Chile. We take advantadge of this opportunity to publish a document written in 1979
by Alan Woods analysing the history of Chilean labour movement and specially the period of
the socialist coalition government of Allende. Who was behind Pinochet's coup? What
interests was he defending? What were the policies of the Allende government and why
despite all warnings was unable to prevent the coup?
- The
Spanish Revolution 1931-37
This article by Ted Grant was first published in 1973 as part of the discussions which
were taking place in the Spanish underground movement against Franco. I summed up the
lessons of the Spanish revolution and served as a contribution to the rearming of the new
generation of workers and youth in the Spanish Young Socialists, the UGT and the PSOE.
Also available is the introduction
to the 1995 edition of the pamphlet, reprinted as a reply to the Stalinist lies on the
Spanish Civil War which resurfaced again in the discussion around Ken Loach's film Land
and Freedom.
