This book is the first comprehensive study of the Reagan
administration's policy toward the military dictatorship of General
Augusto Pinochet in Chile. Based on new primary and archival
materials, as well as on original interviews with former US and
Chilean officials, it traces the evolution of Reagan policy from an
initial 'close embrace' of the junta to a re-evaluation of whether
Pinochet was a risk to long-term US interests in Chile and,
finally, to an acceptance in Washington of the need to push for a
return to democracy. It provides fresh insights into the
bureaucratic conflicts that were a key part of the Reagan
decision-making process and reveals not only the successes but also
the limits of US influence on Pinochet's regime. Finally, it
contributes to the ongoing debate about the US approach toward
democracy promotion in the Third World over the past half century.
