YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWe continue our coverage of the 40th anniversary of the overthrow of Chilean President Salvador Allende with a look at the critical U.S. role under President Richard Nixon and his National Security Advisor, Henry Kissinger. Peter Kornbluh, who spearheaded the effort to declassify more than 20,000 secret documents that revealed the role of the CIA and the White House in the Chilean coup, discusses how Nixon and Kissinger backed the Chilean military's ouster of Allende and then offered critical support as it committed atrocities to cement its newfound rule. Kornbluh is author of the newly updated book, "The Pinochet FileA Declassified Dossier on Atrocity and Accountability," and director of the Chile Documentation Project at the National Security Archive. We're also joined by Juan Garcés, a former personal advisor to Allende who later led the successful legal effort to arrest and prosecute coup leader Augusto Pinochet.
