Summary
New Guest Expert! On today’s Aftermath, Rebecca speaks with National Security Archivist of the Chile Documentation Projects, Peter Kornbluh. Author of the bestselling book “The Pinochet File: A Declassified Dossier on Atrocity and Accountability,” Kornbluh walks us through the C.I.A.'s involvement in the Chilean coup d’état of 1973, while thoughtfully drawing parallels to Russia’s current invasion of Ukraine. Will hegemonic powers ever allow smaller countries the sovereignty and respect they deserve? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Alex Paul stop by to discuss.
