This book offers a fresh perspective on Chile's Cold War experience by reinterpreting it from a transatlantic viewpoint.

The author, James Lockhart, argues that Chileans played an active role in shaping their own history as internationalists while reassessing American and other foreign-directed intelligence operations in the region.

By combining national, regional, and global trends, this book provides a comprehensive narrative of Chile's Cold War experience.

It challenges the traditional US-centred historiography and offers a more equitable and global interpretation of Chile's history than previously possible.

With recently declassified documents from several countries, including the United States, this book provides a detailed account of the CIA's activities in Chile and southern South America.

Overall, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding Chile's role in the Cold War and its impact on international relations today.
