A Cold War Novel of Love and Death. To millions of Chileans the socialist government of Salvador Allende meant reform, justice, and progress. But to the U.S. State Department it represented a defeat and a threat. In collusion with opposition interests, the Americans engaged in a covert campaign to subvert Allende's regime. Paul Steward's job is to gather intelligence--more bluntly, to spy--on Chile's leftists. The disillusioned agent's assignment is a better one than his record warrants, but it's also his last chance to salvage a once-promising career. As an idealistic Peace Corps volunteer, he had had an affair with beautiful Marisa Caseaux, a young Chilean artist studying in the States. The enthusiastic, hopeful American has drifted into a weary, bitter cynicism, and the sensitive Chilean artist has drifted leftwards into a CIA dossier. As events move inexorably toward Allende's fall, a noose tightens around Steward's battered conscience. Interventions is a novel worthy of Graham Greene, the tale of a man in bondage to a morally bankrupt policy, and of his desperate, tragic attempt to reconcile personal loyalty with the politics of betrayal.
