Access is available to the Yale community.

Comprising approximately 2,200 documents, this set follows U.S. officials through a series of snapshots showing the tragedy experienced in Argentina during the critical, formative period of the late 1970s, including a political collapse verging on civil war; a military coup; and massive illegal detentions, torture, and kidnappings. The declassified documents in this set, many of them acquired by National Security Archive project staff and never before published, illustrate the birth of human rights as a priority in U.S. foreign policy - along with more traditional U.S. concerns ranging from the spread of international communism to nuclear proliferation in Latin America.
