Allende’s Chile and the Inter-American Cold War

“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

“An important new contribution to the study of international relations during the Allende years.” — Journal of Latin American Studies

“Admirably measured and comprehensive.” — Latin American Research Review

“Harmer 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

“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

“Although a diplomatic history, Allende’s Chile will 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

“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
