The Story of Chile's Collusion with the Nazis During World War II; After
the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour and Hitler's subsequent declaration of war
upon the US, Chile's reluctance to sever diplomatic ties with Nazi Germany
allowed it to maximise its opportunities there, influencing Chilean
politicians, military operations, and the popular media. This is the story of
Chile, of its efforts to maintain neutrality, its abandonment of neutrality,
and the significance - long and short term - of those actions. Based on
documentary evidence from the archives of the Chilean Foreign Office, and from
US, British, German and Japanese sources, Chile And The Nazis is one the first
books to provide comprehensive evidence of the events and circumstances
surrounding Chile's refusal to comply with the will of the White House in
1942.
