Send Guns And Money

American foreign policy cannot be understood apart from the US security assistance programme. Beginning with Truman, every president has considered security assistance programmes important means of furthering US national interests. This book is a treatment of the programmes from 1947 to 1996. Review: ?[T]his book is an excellent study of the often unacknowledged effect of these programs on both U.S. interests and global stability.

Send Guns and Money provides an extremely well detailed, insiders perspective on the decision-making process in the executive and legislative branches, as well as the views that different administrations over the past fifty years held regarding the role that the programs were supposed to play in overall U.S. foreign policy....[T]he authors have provided scholars with a strong tool for understanding part of the background of U.S. foreign policy decision making and development over the past fifty years.?-NSSQ
