Recenzje

'… No doubt, it is well-researched, effectively organized, and carefully considered ... The book is particularly valuable in the author's unearthing of another layer of relevant primary documents from presidential libraries and the National Archives. Stieb's narrative has commendable coherence, clarity, and simplicity. The book's title says it all, and for this reason, it is sure to make a major impact on the field.' Andrew Flibbert, H-Diplo roundtable XXIII-46
