The military coup that toppled Chilean President Salvador Allende
in 1973 led to one of the most repressive military dictatorships in
Latin American history. Although the coup's full origin remains one
of the great mysteries of the Cold War, most assume that powers in
Washington were largely to blame, given the long history of U.S.
interventionism in Latin America. These assumptions were only
strengthened by ongoing suspicions about the Nixon administration's
role in a failed campaign to prevent Allende's inauguration in
1970. Providing a comprehensive account of the Nixon
administration's efforts to undermine and unseat Allende, the book
relies heavily on newly declassified records, addressing several
crucial questions regarding U.S. involvement. The author explores
several counterfactual scenarios to highlight important turning
points and crucial decisions which contributed to the failure of
Chilean democracy.
