Amer All Good Neighbor Cultural Diplomacy in World War II

"Americans all tells the most complete story to date of the motives and modus operandi of the sustained US effort, embodied in the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs - usually known by the acronym OCIAA but shortened in this book to the rather sinistersounding CIAA - under the direction of Nelson A. Rockefeller, to promote the unity of the western hemisphere in order to counter the supposedly imminent Nazi threat...Sadlier's accessible book highlights the value of cultural history for the study of international relations. It is an important complement to other more diplomatically oriented works on inter-American relations during these years."--Philip Chrimes, International Affairs
