Abstract

The article focuses on the failed attempt of the International Telephone & Telegraph Co. (ITT) to overthrow Chile's Marxist President Salvador Allende. It states that ITT officials determined that Allende had to be stopped, motivated by misplaced patriotism and fear for the company's 150 million U.S. dollar capital investment in Chile. It notes that the company attempted to try its best in enlisting support of other U.S. corporations in Chile and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the White House.
