Jonathan Nashel is associate professor of history at Indiana University, South Bend.
An original and insightful work, combining the approaches of cultural and diplomatic history in ways that finally reveal the real and symbolic significance of Edward G. Lansdale's Cold War work. While many others have treated Lansdale as emblematic, Jonathan Nashel is the first historian to carefully connect his words and deeds to the national mission he represented. - James T. Fisher, author of Dr. America: The Lives of Thomas A. Dooley, 1927-1961; ""The strength of Nashel's work is the complexity of his Lansdale profile. Not a standard biography, it seeks to assess Lansdale's career and image in relationship to the events and culture of the Cold War. In addition to attracting scholars in the fields of foreign relations, American studies, cultural history, and Vietnam War history, it will appeal to many general readers of modern U.S. history and biography."" - Christian G. Appy, author of Patriots: The Vietnam War Remembered from All Sides
