Zusammenfassung:Reinterprets Chile and southern South America's Cold War experience from a transatlantic perspectiveDraws on archival sources from several countries, including recently declassified documents in the United StatesExplicitly connects Chile and the transatlantic origins of the whole Cold War to subsequent Chilean history from the late-1940s into the 1970sAcknowledges the importance and pertinence of intra-Latin American relations, particularly Chileans' relations with their neighboursReconstructs Chile's early nuclear history and folds it into the larger whole of the Eisenhower administration's Atoms for Peace proposal and the IAEA's subsequent history, further mapping the emergence of the global nuclear landscapeFind out more: listen to an interview with James Lockhart on the Scholars Strategy Network podcastJames 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.
