"Forty years and more have passed since the Truman Doctrine, and
several books have sought to explain this marked turn in American
foreign relations, but none of them comes closer to the mark--and,

interested in the turning of American foreign policy from isolation
to participation that occurred in the years immediately after
the Second World War."--Robert H. Ferrell, Indiana University

at the time, Howard Jones succeeds in redeeming the much maligned
