Allende's Chile and the Inter-American Cold War (The New Cold War History)
"Tanya Harmer, inAllende's Chile and the Inter-American Cold War, wants to set aside arguments over who was at fault for any particular Cold War episode. Instead, she considers the broader context."--London Review of Books"A first-rate work of international history."--International Affairs"Writers will look to Harmer's book as a model for scholarship on the inter-American experience."--Journal of American History"[A] carefully researched, creative, highly original, well-crafted, well-written, thoughtful insertion of Chile's story into the global and inter-American history of the Cold War. Of the hundreds of volumes on my bookshelves on Chile, I would not want to be without this one. No serious student of the Popular Unity government in Chile should fail to read Harmer's account."--American Historical Review"Harmer's is an insightful contribution to the study of Chile and of bilateral and multilateral relations in the Americas."--Latin American Perspectives"This study brings to life the struggle over Chile as waged by the Chilean and other governments alike."--European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies"Harmer brilliantly succeeds at the task that she has set out for herself. . . . A subtle and illuminating analysis."--Diplomatic History"A welcome addition to Cold War historiography. . . . Enriches our understanding of how the Cold War unfolded in Latin America, particularly the centrality of Chile in shaping regional events."--Oral History Review"An important new contribution to the study of international relations during the Allende years."--Journal of Latin American Studies"Although a diplomatic history,Allende's Chilewill appeal to historians in several disciplines. Those interested in militarism and the military's role in Latin America can benefit from the work. . . . Hopefully, Harmer's challenge to transcend mono-national perspectives will be taken up by the wider scholarly community."--H-War
