A new book titled ‘El pacto perfecto’ (The Perfect Pact) by investigative journalists Daniel Avendaño and Mauricio Palma has detailed secret Chilean support for the United Kingdom during the 1982 Falklands/Malvinas War.

Utilizing classified documentation, interviews with former military personnel, and transparency requests from Chile and Argentina, the authors describe how the Chilean military junta provided intelligence and assistance to British forces during the 73-day conflict. The research aims to address previously undisclosed information and ‘loose ends’ regarding the clandestine cooperation between the Chilean government and the United Kingdom.
