In 1973, the British Author Anthony Sampson (1926-2004) published a book titled The Sovereign State, the Secret History of ITT. In the book he described in detail the role of the CIA, International Telephone and Telegraph company: ITT and how they manipulated the truckers in blocking supplies in Chile. It led to seal the fate of Salvador Allende and start of Pinochet Regime.
Highly recommended read. It is out of print but may be obtained second hand.
