On October 5, 1988, at a plebiscite held in Chile, the dictator Pinochet suffered a crushing defeat. The victory of the Chilean people opened a new stage in the struggle for freedom. But the forces of reaction in the country are still strong. The pages of this book contain instructive, burning, eloquent facts. They are an integral part of daily life in Chile under the fascist regime. His cruelty is not accidental. This is the main tool of state terrorism, and which imperialism resorts to, opposing one or another people, and in this case, against the people of Chile. Alexander Baryshev analyzes the events associated with the brutal murder of three communist intellectuals - Jose Manuel Parada, Manuel Guerrero and Santiago Nattino. These people are not only martyrs. They are heroes who went in the forefront of fighters against tyranny, fought talentedly, selflessly, knowing that they were risking their lives. The great merit of the book is that it truthfully tells about the harsh Chilean reality, allows you to see that a monstrous crime against three Chilean patriots is not a special case. Fascism needs such crimes in order to instill a sense of fear among the people.
