Beskrivning

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.

Recensioner i media

'While reams of scholarly writings have been published on the US role in the overthrow of Chilean democracy in September 1973, almost nothing of substance has been written on the US role in the denouement of the Pinochet dictatorship in 1990 - until now. Through astute analysis of a massive quantity of declassified US documents, Reagan and Pinochet has filled a major historical void. This is a compelling, definitive, and valuable study.' Peter Kornbluh, author of The Pinochet File: A Declassified Dossier on Atrocity and Accountability
