The book editor would like to thank the chapter authors
for
reviewing and commenting on various chapters. In
particular, the
observations and country expertise of Arturo Valenzuela
and J.
Samuel Valenzuela, who closely reviewed the text,
contributed
greatly to the overall quality of the book. J. Samuel
Valenzuela
also contributed anonymously to Chapter 5, "National
Security." In
addition, the book editor would like to thank Scott D.
Tollefson
for his invaluable support in volunteering to amend
Chapter 5,
"National Security," and to comment on Chapter 4,
"Government and
Politics."
The authors are grateful to individuals in various
agencies of
the United States government; international organizations;
private
institutions, including the Latin American School of
Social
Sciences (Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias
Sociales--FLACSO) in
Santiago; and Chilean diplomatic officers, who offered
their time,
special knowledge, or research facilities and materials to
provide
information and perspective. Thanks also go to Ralph K.
Benesch,
who oversees the Country Studies/Area Handbook Program for
the
Department of the Army. None of these individuals,
however, is in
any way responsible for the work of the authors.
The book editor would like to thank members of the
Federal
Research Division who contributed directly to the
preparation of
the manuscript. These include Sandra W. Meditz, who
reviewed all
textual and graphic materials, served as liaison with the
sponsoring agency, and provided numerous substantive and
technical
contributions; Marilyn L. Majeska, who supervised the
editing;
Andrea T. Merrill, who edited the tables, figures, and
Bibliography
managed production; and Barbara Edgerton and Izella
Watson, who did
the word processing. Thanks also go to Vincent Ercolano,
who
performed the copyediting of the chapters; Cissie Coy, who
performed the final prepublication editorial review; and
Joan C.
Cook, who compiled the index.
The Library
of Congress Printing and Processing Section performed the
phototypesetting, under the supervision of Peggy Pixley.
David P. Cabitto provided invaluable graphics support,
including preparation of several maps and the cover and
chapter
illustrations. He was assisted by Harriett R. Blood, who
prepared
the topography and drainage map, and by the firm of
Greenhorne and
O'Mara.
Finally, the authors acknowledge the generosity of the
individuals and the public, private, diplomatic, and
international
agencies who allowed their photographs to be used in this
study.
