Connect to Chile and the United States

This is a collection of 2,842 declassified records documenting the controversial history of U.S. policy toward, and relations with, Chile from 1970 when the Nixon administration decided to intervene against the Socialist government of Salvador Allende, to 1990 when the U.S.-supported military regime that deposed Allende was finally forced to step down. The collection covers a range of major issues, including the Nixon administration's policy-making process related to overthrowing Allende, the implementation of covert operations to bring about regime change, as well as its assistance in consolidating the military government led by General Augusto Pinochet. The set also contains documentation on U.S. policy toward human rights violations; international terrorism; the historic, and peaceful return to democracy in Chile; and the pursuit of justice against Pinochet.

Connect to Colombia and the United States

The National Security Archive's Colombia collection traces more than 60 years of U.S. involvement in Latin America's longest-running internal conflict, from the early days of the Cold War through the deluge of recent political scandals, which have revealed unprecedented levels of corruption in the country's major political institutions.

The Cuban Missile Crisis, 1962 (Ann Arbor, Mich. : ProQuest LLC, 2007-)

Connect to The Cuban Missile Crisis, 1962

The Cuban Missile Crisis, 1962 presents an integrated, comprehensive record of U.S. decisionmaking during the most dangerous U.S.-Soviet confrontation in the nuclear era. Some 3,400 unique records relevant to the crisis, totalling approximately 17,500 pages, are reproduced in the microfiche. Much of the documentation focuses on U.S. decisionmaking during what Robert Kennedy called the "Thirteen Days" of the missile crisis—from McGeorge Bundy's October 16, 1962 briefing of President Kennedy on the discovery of Soviet missiles in Cuba to Nikita Khrushchev's October 28 decision to withdraw the weapons. The numerous intelligence reports, diplomatic cables, political analyses, military situation reports, and meeting minutes included in the set portray both the deliberative process and the execution of critical decisions made by the Kennedy administration during the crisis.

 

The Cuban Missile Crisis Revisited (Ann Arbor, Mich. : ProQuest LLC, 2007-)

Connect to The Cuban Missile Crisis Revisited

T he documentation from the briefing books from the Bay of Pigs and missile crisis conferences makes up the core of this unique collection. (To those records have been added hundreds of documents declassified as part of the Archive’s 1987 FOIA request that were not released in time for inclusion in the first published collection.) For the first time, archival evidence from the three main governments in this dramatic international confrontation have been put side by side—offering an unparalleled progression and comparison of the deliberations, decisions, actions and reactions that led up to, and through October 1962 when the world came closest to nuclear conflagration.

This document set contains 1,463 records, covering a date range from 1959, when Castro took power, all the way through the mid 1970s when the issue of Soviet submarines docking for repairs in Cuba briefly recreated the tension of the missile crisis in Washington's relations with Moscow.

Death Squads, guerrilla war, covert operations, and genocide: Guatemala and the United States, 1954-1999 (Ann Arbor, Mich. : ProQuest LLC, 2007-)

Connect to Death Squads...

Death Squads, Guerrilla War, Covert Operations, and Genocide: Guatemala and the United States, 1954-1999 contains 2,071 declassified documents describing U.S. relations with Guatemala during the decades of violent conflict sparked by the CIA-controlled coup in 1954. The documents include CIA operational records produced during the coup, National Security Council deliberations on consolidating a post-coup regime friendly to the United States, and extensive intelligence and embassy reporting on Guatemala's U.S.-trained security apparatus. The material includes detailed information on the human rights catastrophe that gripped Guatemala during its 30-year civil conflict. Finally and most uniquely, the set contains an extraordinary and chilling record smuggled out of the archives of Guatemalan military intelligence - the grim, 54-page diario militar, or "death squad diary," obtained by National Security archive staff, which ties the Guatemalan army directly to the disappearance of dozens of Guatemalan citizens.

Peru: Human Rights, Drugs and Democracy, 1980-2000 (Chadwyck-Healey)
Connect to Peru: Human Rights, Drugs and Democracy

Peru: Human Rights, Drugs and Democracy, 1980-2000, is a uniquely detailed collection of records documenting U.S. foreign policy at work in Latin America, as well as a fascinating story of domestic politics in Peru. Incorporating the latest U.S. government releases, which significantly enrich the historical record, these documents, virtually all previously classified, provide a compelling primary-source portrait of Peru's civil war, internal repression, and growing authoritarianism during three successive Peruvian administrations, as witnessed by the U.S. embassy in Lima, U.S. military officials, and U.S. intelligence...The set is notable for both its size and content. It includes 679 documents collected from archival sources, hundreds of FOIA requests, and direct State Department releases to Peruvian truth and congressional commissions. While a few contextual documents are included from the 1960s and 1970s, the bulk of documentation in this collection begins with the 1980 inception of civil war between insurgent militants from the Shining Path (and later from the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement-MRTA) and official and non-official government forces.
