First edition of Suzanne Labin's Chile: The Crime of Resistance; Inscribed to Henry Kissinger

First edition of Chile: The Crime of Resistance. Octavo, original cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the half-title page in the year of publication to Henry Kissinger, "A Henri Kissingers Secretaire d'Etat hommage respectueux, Suzanne Labin le Paris 12.3.83." A nice association linking Labin, a provocative anti-Communist French analyst and Kissinger, a pro-Pinochet supporter. Labin portrays a Chile that vindicates Kissinger's policies -- Allende was the oppressor and Pinochet a beacon of progress according to Labin. Fine in a near fine dust jacket.

Chile: The Crime of Resistance by Suzanne Labin is a polemical examination of Chilean politics in the era surrounding Salvador Allende’s government and its violent overthrow, presenting political dissent and leftist activism as forms of subversive resistance rather than legitimate democratic expression. Written from a strongly anti-communist perspective, the book situates Chile within broader Cold War ideological struggles, arguing that revolutionary movements exploited democratic institutions while undermining political stability and social order.
