Updated with newly declassified documents, a Los Angeles
Times Best Book of 2003. When first published last year on the thirtieth anniversary
of the Chilean coup, Peter Kornbluh's The Pinochet File was
hailed on the editorial page of the New York Times —no doubt
to the aggravation of Henry Kissinger and all those who
would deny the U.S. role in undermining Chilean democracy
and supporting the advent of General Pinochet's brutal
dictatorship. "Thanks to Peter Kornbluh," Marc Cooper wrote,
"we have the first complete, almost day-to-day and fully
documented record of this sordid chapter in Cold War
American history." Peter Kornbluh led the campaign for the declassification of
some 24,000 secret CIA, White House, NSC, and Defense
Department records on Chile. The paperback edition includes
new information and documents released since the hardcover
went to press. This material is incorporated into a powerful
retelling of the events that Newsweek magazine calls "a
remarkable reconstruction of the secret U.S. foreign policy
that transformed Chile into a dictatorship."
