In the thirty-five years since the violent overthrow of Chilean President Salvador Allende, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has vehemently denied U.S. involvement. Almost with the same breath, Kissinger suggests that the democratically elected Allende represented Soviet aggression in Latin America, therefore posing a threat to the United States' physical security. Newly released documents reveal the Nixon administration's efforts to undermine Allende, while indicating that Nixon and Kissinger did not believe the socialist regime in Santiago endangered the United States or even had close ties to Moscow. The White House feared that the Chilean experiment would encourage other Latin American countries to challenge U.S. hegemony. Nixon, Kissinger, and Allende explores the president's cultural and intellectual prejudices against Latin America and the economic pressures that induced action against Allende.

Review
Qureshi's elegantly written study offers a fresh and well-researched interpretation of U.S. foreign policy toward Chile during the Allende presidency. This book explains U.S. opposition to the Allende government by highlighting Nixon and Kissinger's imperial disdain for Latin America in general and Chile in particular, their fundamental ignorance of the region, and the influence of the U.S. business community. Qureshi draws on an array of sources, including the Nixon tapes, U.S. and Chilean government documents, and secondary sources to shed new light on a pivotal moment in U.S. history. She also discusses the history and importance of Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi, two North Americans killed by the Chilean military (with possible U.S. government complicity) following the September 11, 1973, coup that overthrew Allende. For anyone who wants a clearer understanding of U.S. foreign policy toward Chile during the Nixon presidency, this book is essential reading. (Margaret Power, Illinois Institute of Technology)
Using freshly released U.S. tapes and documents and Chilean sources Lubna Qureshi has written a fresh analysis of the United States' 1973 intervention to overthrow the freely elected government of Salvador Allende. Qureshi demonstrates that the Nixon administration did not truly perceive Allende as a threat to U.S. national security in the overall context of the Cold War. Rather, Nixon and Kissinger feared Allende's socializing and nationalizing actions would encourage other Latin American nations to challenge American hegemony. The major impelling force behind the US intervention in Chile that lead to a dictatorship came from the corporate concerns of President Nixon and pressures from powerful business clients to control the civilian economy.. Woven into this convincing interpretation are episodes of concise narrative including the CIA assisted assassination of General Schneider, the last constitutionalist military leader protecting civilian government against the coup d'etat by General Pinochet, and adiscussion of U.S. victims of the vicious aftermath, among them Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi.

Excellent Nixon scholarship, terrible Soviet scholarship
By Daniel Brockert
Qureshi's intimate knowledge of Nixon's behind the scenes deliberations is informed by thousands of declassified documents with transcripts of Nixon's conversations with advisors and meeting notes. Qureshi specializes in the history of the Nixon administration and correctly observes that US economic interests and Nixon's contempt for Latin-America, racism, insecurity and arrogance played an important role in Nixon's decision to support the 1973 coup.
Where she goes wrong, however, is when she makes the more dangerous and incorrect conclusion that the cold war had little or nothing to do with the decision to form the coup. Not only is this conclusion unsupported by the very source documents she uses, but her lack of Soviet scholarship leads to some serious blindspots in her work. The most glaring omission is that Soviet intelligence documents aren't use at all in the book, despite their relevance to Allende's rise to power and decision-making while President. In 1992 a Soviet spy named Vasili Mitrokhin released a massive trove of classified KGB documents, that included Soviet involvement with European and Latin-American left parties. The KGB played an active role in giving financial assistence to Allende and left parties. The Soviets spent more in Chile than in any other Latin American country outside Cuba. Historian Christopher Andrew, who specializes in the Mitrokhin archive argues that Soviet assistence in the elections probably played a decisive role in Allende's victory with only 36% of the vote. Qureshi not only ignores this, but she also concludes on page 3: "yet in private, Nixon did not blame the Soviet Union for the troubles south of the border" a conclusion unjustified even by someone ignorant of the Mitrokhin archive. The author often engages in either/or thinking, assuming that when a particular viewpoint isn't emphasized in a particular conversation or on the tapes, that the concerns were unimportant to meeting participants. This is evident when she quotes conversations about economic matters in Latin-America, assuming that because explicit links between economic and military matters aren't made by Nixon or Connelly that they themselves were unaware of the linkages. It's clear that Nixon is tailoring his discussions to the interests of the particular advisor he's talking to- focusing on economics with Treasury secretary Connally, speaking in more racist terms with CIA chief Richard Helms, discussing Chile's domestic and international political situation with Kissinger. In her efforts to build a narrative, she often takes snippets out of context and is likely distorting their intended meanings. Because of these blaring blind spots, the book should be seen as a work of left-wing propaganda rather than a legitimate history of the Nixon administration and Chile. Because she quotes heavily from the Nixon tapes, Kissinger's "On Diplomacy" and Kissinger's memoirs, I would recommend that serious readers consider this book as only a first step before going to the source documents themselves. In addition people should also read about the Mitrokhin Archive to learn what the Soviets were doing in order to form a balanced picture of Allende's Chile.

Imperial Colossus
By Mr G
Nixon, Kissinger, and Allende is the riveting story of how the Nixon administration helped the legally and constitutionally elected president of Chile be overthrown by its use of nefarious methods. Of course, the topple was nothing new in Latin America, but a continuation of a policy of intervention since the Monroe Doctrine. The book is but a piece of a larger malicious mosaic that marks US Latin America relations for several centuries, and which is still being played out. This tome is important for those to seek a better understanding of why Latin America is so wary of its neighbor, the northern imperial colossus.
