Melvyn P. Leffler, author of A Preponderence of Power: National Security, the Truman Administration, and the Cold War In an analysis that is relevant to contemporary debates over international loans, she reveals how a practice initially justified as a progressive means to extend 'civilization' by promoting economic progress became embroiled in controversy. --Macalester Today This is an impressive scholarly work that will appeal to many interested in economic and political diplomacy with a cultural dimension. -- Alan P. Dobson, Journal of American Studies [F]or readers of the Journal of Interdisciplinary History, the book's most interesting features are probably its uses of cultural analysis to enhance our understanding of policy history...
