The Great American Dream

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This study examines the CIA's "third force" strategy-providing support for a third-party alternative over two primary on-the-ground options-in East Asia during the first decade of the Cold War. The author argues that the strategy failed due to a lack of understanding of the historical and cultural contexts of the region.
