"First published on September 11, 2003 - the thirtieth anniversary of the military coup that brought General Augusto Pinochet to power - The Pinochet File has been hailed as a definitive account of the U.S. role in supporting bloody regime change in Chile. This edition is revised and updated to include the newest declassified information on how Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger launched a preemptive strike against the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende and helped Pinochet consolidate his rule."--BOOK JACKET.
