Reviews

A solidly researched and well-written history of the least known of Chile's large copper mines.... A major original contribution to our understanding of Cold War Chile that demonstrates the centrality of copper miners, their unions, and leaders to Chile's social, economic, and political history. - Peter Winn, Tufts University
