Editing Jacobo Timerman (section)

===''Chile: Death in the South''===
In 1987, Timerman released ''Chile: Death in the South'', a critical examination of life under the dictator [[Augusto Pinochet]]. The book highlights the poverty, hunger, and violence inflicted by Pinochet's military dictatorship. It also argues that Chilean society had lost cultural depth in the environment of political repression.<ref>[[Marjorie Agosín]], "[http://www.csmonitor.com/1988/0411/dbjuco.html Timerman on Pinochet's Chile]", ''Christian Science Monitor'', 11 April 1988.</ref>

Timerman argues that Chilean centrists and right-wing must be prepared to step in and govern in place of the military. He also suggested that the Catholic Church would play an important role in renewal of the country.<ref>[[J. M.
