It is from Mónica Gonzales writing in her book on the military coup La Conjura. Los mil y un días del golpe that we have the account of the 1973 putchist General Arellano claiming that he confronted Pinochet with the stark choice of supporting the coup or assuming the risk of civil war. In the 2013 film Viva Chile Mierda, González was interviewed by film-maker Adrian Goycoolea about her experience during the Chilean coup and her interviews with Andres Valenzuela, a guard who revealed the use of torture by the regime.
