'This well researched and clearly written book argues coherently for Chilean agency in its own destiny, and places the activities of the CIA in an informed context.' Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones, University of Edinburgh Reinterpreting Chile and southern South America's Cold War experience from a transatlantic perspective This book reinterprets the history of Chile, the CIA and the Cold War. It blends national, regional and world-historical trends from Chile, and both the inter-American and transatlantic communities, into a century-long Cold War narrative. This advances research that has progressively expanded the framework of Chile's Cold War experience since the arrest of General Augusto Pinochet in the United Kingdom for human rights violations more than twenty years ago. It draws upon archival sources from several countries, including recently declassified documents in the United States. The author argues that Chileans made their own history as highly engaged internationalists while reassessing American and other foreign-directed intelligence, surveillance and secret warfare operations in Chile and southern South America. The book transcends a well-known, US-centered historiography while offering a more equitable and global interpretation of Chile's Cold War experience than previously possible. James Lockhart is Assistant Professor of History in the Department of International and Middle Eastern Studies at the American University in Dubai.
