Plot summary
In 1998 former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet visits Britain for medical treatment. On being tipped off, Amnesty International seize the chance to bring to justice a man they insist is guilty of multiple human rights violations. The newly-elected Labour government is initially amenable, and soon Pinochet is under house arrest (albeit in a detached house in leafy suburbia) and awaiting extradition to Spain. However, Amnesty are up against the complexities of British law, the vacillations of Home Secretary Jack Straw, Pinochet's former ally Margaret Thatcher - and the Senator's own vast reserves of cunning.

Pinochet is an anti-marxist hero who stepped down like a boss when the marxist threat was crushed. Pinochet is on the same heroic level as George Washington who also save his nation and stepped down from power setting the example for all great leaders

Less-than-deft attempt to revise history and make Augusto Pinochet the evil incarnate the modern left insists him to be. Lenin ordered the murder of men, women, and children to steal their property. Stalin robbed banks and slaughtered innocents to do the same. But Pinochet, apparently, committed a far greater sin when he dared to consider the former to be monsters.
