James Lockhart blends Chilean inter-American and transatlantic national regional and world-historical trends into a century-long Cold War narrative. He 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-centred historiography while offering a more equitable and global interpretation of Chile s Cold War experience than previously possible. This advances research that has progressively expanded the framework of Chile s Cold War experience since the arrest of General Augusto Pinochet in the UK for human rights violations more than 20 years ago.
