Autumn Leaves is proud to welcome award-winning reporter John Dinges, author of The Condor Years: How Pinochet and his Allies Brought Terrorism to Three Continents. He’ll be here to discuss his new book Chile in Their Hearts: The Untold Story of Two Americans Who Went Missing after the Coup (University of California Press, 2025).
From the publisher: 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 … John Dinges scoured U.S. and Chilean archives and interviewed new witnesses to reveal the true story of the 1973 killings of Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi. Chile in Their Hearts is a compelling adventure of the two Americans' lives against the backdrop of U.S. intervention in Chile.
Raymond B. Craib, Professor of History at Cornell University and author of Adventure Capitalism (PM Press, 2022), will moderate.

“Chile in Their Hearts reads like a nuanced crime novel that tells the story of soulless bureaucrats, hopeful revolutionaries and bloodthirsty fascists.” — CounterPunch
