hello, i just read about the new book El Despertar de los Curevos and googled to see if there was any info in English. There was nothing but this blog, although not directly about the book you make reference to it...Anyways, just letting you know this is a great blog, i like that its in English. It important to translate as much information about what happened in CHile after 11 Sept 73....It would be great to get the book published in the UK...Saludos and keep up the good work. Rossana
