Reviews
“Kashatus goes into government programs in detail that sometimes teeters on the edge of mind-boggling. But that reporting underscores the book's major subtext: a succinct history of American government in domestic and international programs from midway in World War II until 1980. . . . Kashatus has done a very thorough scholar’s job—with patience, enthusiasm, and zeal. . . . Grant Kashatus his sentimental license. You won't be sorry if you read his book.”
