Salvador Allende: the biography. By Mario Amoros



 I decided to read this book, because I saw an interview of its author on TV. I realized that it was a serious work, that took 18 years of investigation by the journalist and historian Mario Amoros.
The book tells us about the biography of the chilean politician Salvador Allende Gossens. Also, reviews his political career, where show us unknown details about his work. Those pages contain his childhood anecdotes, his work as doctor, militant, senator, minister and president.
Like this book becase I like Allende.  A chilean who means an example in my life. A person who represented the dream of an entire generation who fought for their ideals consecuently. Because he worried about the shortcomings of Chile in 1970. Because he worked for equate inequality, break with the foreign abomination and looking for gives Chile its own wings, motivating a real patriotism.
Without a doubt, I recomend this book because I feel that history, ideals and thoughts of Allende, seem darkened with the irruption of the putsch. However, a lot of aspects of his political and social thought are unknown, and this book contributes to have a more responsible debate at the moment to talk about our history as chileans and the protagonism of Allende in that history.

Since now I call you to read this book, because in my contingent, economics and social conversations and reflections, Allende is always present. I try to dignify and recognize his work as politician in my reflections. If there is someone that shares my world vision, I call him/her to read this book or try to know and investigate a little more of this unfinished dream of Allende.
