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.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 232mmItem Length: 155mmItem Width: 14mmItem Weight: 304gRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
