However, the success of ''Historia secreta de Chile'' was not free from controversy – some historians criticized the quality of its documentation,<ref>{{Cite magazine |url=http://www.redseca.cl/jorge-baradit-la-apropiacion-del-saber-el-protagonismo-de-las-elites-y-el-ninguneo-docente/ |title=Jorge Baradit: la apropiación del saber, el protagonismo de las elites y el ninguneo docente |trans-title=Jorge Baradit: The Appropriation of Knowledge, the Prominence of the Elites, and the Education Belittlement |magazine=RedSeca |language=Spanish |date=30 May 2016 |access-date=27 April 2018}}</ref> while others such as the 2016 [[Chilean National History Award|National History Award]] winner {{ill|Julio Pinto Vallejos|es|lt=Julio Pinto}}<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.eldinamo.cl/cultpop/2016/08/23/premio-nacional-historia-jorge-baradit/ |title=Premio Nacional de Historia respalda fenómeno Baradit: 'Es positivo por el interés en la historia' |trans-title=National History Award Winner Supports Baradit Phenomenon: 'It's Positive Because of the Interest in History' |work=El Dínamo |language=Spanish |date=23 August 2016 |access-date=27 April 2018}}</ref> and the 2006 winner [[Gabriel Salazar]]<ref>{{Cite tweet |user=CNNChile |number=911052933252440065 |title=Gabriel Salazar afirma que Jorge @baradit no toma solo lo anecdótico de la historia, sino que detrás hay 'un criterio crítico' |trans-title=Gabriel Salazar Affirms That Jorge @baradit Does Not Take Only Anecdotal History, But Behind it There is 'a Critical Criterion' |author=CNN Chile |author-link=CNN Chile |date=21 September 2017 |access-date=27 April 2018}}</ref> supported the publication. In the following two years, Baradit released the remaining volumes of the trilogy, with covers as provocative as the first (which had portrayed [[Arturo Prat]] as a spiritualist figure, endowed with a third eye). The second showed [[Bernardo O'Higgins]] with dark glasses, emulating the famous photograph of Augusto Pinochet after the military coup, alluding to the fact that the [[Chilean War of Independence|independence]] leader was the country's first dictator. The third figure featured [[Gabriela Mistral]] with a tattoo reading "Doris", plus a piercing in her nose.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.cooperativa.cl/noticias/cultura/literatura/jorge-baradit-publico-historia-secreta-de-chile-2/2016-06-28/132410.html |title=Jorge Baradit publicó 'Historia secreta de Chile 2' |trans-title=Jorge Baradit Publishes 'Historia secreta de Chile 2' |publisher=[[Radio Cooperativa]] |language=Spanish |date=28 June 2016 |access-date=27 April 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |url=http://culto.latercera.com/2017/08/11/jorge-baradit-escritor-queria-contar-historias-ahora-firmo-autografos/ |title=Jorge Baradit, escritor: 'Yo quería contar historias y ahora firmo autógrafos' |trans-title=Jorge Baradit, Writer: 'I Wanted to Tell Stories and Now I Sign Autographs |first=Javier |last=García |magazine=[[La Tercera]] Culto |language=Spanish |date=11 August 2017 |access-date=27 April 2018}}</ref>
