Great book

I had to read this book for my south American history class at UTEP, Go Miners. It is a great book that depicts the social revolution that takes place In chile in the late 60's and early 70's. It is masterfully written and the parallel Winn draws between the reform within the mill and the social reform taking place in the country is excellently depicted and connected. Loved it.
