Peter Kornbluh will share his personal stories of his encounters with Kissinger, as the famous U.S. official fought to keep the truth from emerging on his secret role in some of the darkest foreign policy operations during the Cold War. Kornbluh's organization, The National Security Archive, obtained thousands of Kissinger's secret memos, as well as transcripts of his conversations with Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, CIA director Richard Helms and countless other powerful U.S. policy makers. Among the history and documents in this presentation. Kornbluh will reveal how Kissinger and his lawyer attempted to sabotage the release of Kornbluh's book, The Pinochet File: A Declassified Dossier on Atrocity and Accountability, which revealed Kissinger's dark and dominant role in the overthrow of the Allende government, and rise of the Pinochet regime in Chile.
