"John Krige's impressively researched case studies document a US cold-war agenda for shaping European science that was deeply political--yet, for all of America's preponderance of material resources, subject to continuous negotiation. As a book that also reveals how the enrollment of science became a project for state-building, this work is important for students of American power, hard and soft."
