Allende's last moments

The Last moments of Allende, before he was killed by the American-instigated coup in Chile. Some pictures are worth a million words.

It is astounding to witness the bravery and courage of this small man against the wrath of a whole army. He could have easily escaped, like our Mossadegh, but he stood to the end and chose to die for his people rather than to save his life. Now the story of his life and his heroic death is a light that leads his nation to democracy. He joined the mythological figures in this moment.
