His book\, The Gathering Storm: Eduardo Frei’s Revolution in Li berty and Chile’s Cold War\, was published by Cornell University Press in 2 020.\n\nThe history of U.S. involvement in Chilean politics in the 1960s an d 1970s through covert operations has been the subject of great public and scholarly attention in the United States. The focus on U.S. attempts to sub vert the Chilean political system through covert operations is not illogica l. However\, it misses other parts of the story and\, as a result\, attribu tes a disproportionate amount of agency and responsibility in the affairs o f Chile to decision-makers in Washington. A more traditional approach to th e relations between both countries in the period\, with a focus on the dipl omatic relations between the administrations in power and based on the offi cial correspondence that recorded their day-to-day developments\, offers a more comprehensive picture of a relationship in which the asymmetry of powe r in favor of the United States was not the driving force.
