Partido Demócrata Cristiano

"An account of the formative years of Chile's Christian Democratic Party from its origins as the rebellious youth wing of the traditionally Catholic Conservative Party to the military's 1973 overthrow of the Allende government. The author confines himself to party materials and accounts by party members, leaving untouched the extensive academic literature (Chilean, US, and European) that has developed in the last 15 years"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
