Description:Against Aid presents a complex and diverse history of opposition to U.S. foreign aid spending, explaining why critics challenged aid and how they had a significant impact on U.S. foreign policy.Foreign aid was an integral part of U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War. U.S. leaders hoped aid spending could modernize other societies, create steadfast allies, and promote global stability, but there was always considerable opposition. Jeffrey F.

They were arguing about the appropriate use of national power, and the essence of the nation's purpose.This book is essential reading for courses in American Politics, International Studies, and history of American foreign policy.
