Hauser,T. Missing. 1982
Hauser, Thomas. Missing. New York: Avon Books, 1982. First published in
1978 under the title "The Execution of Charles Horman: An American
Sacrifice." 255 pages.
Charles Horman was a 30-year-old American free-lance journalist in
Chile during the 1973 coup. He had inadvertently been given sensitive
information about U.S. involvement in the coup while chatting with a U.S.
Navy engineer, which apparently led to his secret arrest and execution.
The efforts of his family to find him were met with foot-dragging or worse
at the U.S. embassy in Santiago.
In 1982 the movie "Missing," directed by Costa-Gavras and starring
Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek, was released by Universal based on Houser's
book. Nathaniel Davis, U.S. ambassador to Chile from 1971-73, filed a $150
million libel suit against the studio, even though he wasn't named directly
in the movie. The book, however, uses real names throughout and is even
more convincing than this excellent movie.
Davis was last spotted as a Professor of Humanities [sic] at Harvey
Mudd College in Claremont CA, where he no doubt spends his time sipping
sherry with grad-student proteges and inspiring tomorrow's foreign service
officers.
