Description: "This study of the Vicaría de Solidaridad provides detailed coverage of its efforts on behalf of human rights during the early years (1973-82) of military rule. While the organization did much to strengthen the Church's credibility with popular sector Chileans, it may not offer a sufficient basis for generalizing about either the Church's moral authority generally or its role, particularly post-1983, in the transition to civilian rule"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
