The book now completes the file on Pinochet’s story, detailing his multiple indictments between 2004 and his death on December 10, 2006, including the Riggs Bank scandal that revealed how the dictator had illegally squirreled away over $26 million in ill-begotten wealth in secret American bank accounts.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e When it was first released in hardcover, \u003ci\u003eThe Pinochet File\u003c\/i\u003e contributed to the international campaign to hold Pinochet accountable for murder, torture, and terrorism. A new afterword tells the extraordinary story of Henry Kissinger’s attempt to undercut the book’s reception—efforts that generated a major scandal that led to a high-level resignation at the Council on Foreign Relations, illustrating the continued ability of the book to speak truth to power.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “\u003ci\u003eThe Pinochet File\u003c\/i\u003e should be considered the long awaited book of record on U.S. intervention in Chile . . .
