This book tells the story of the International Rescue Committee
(IRC), the largest nonsectarian refugee relief agency in the world.
Founded in the 1930s by socialist militants, the IRC attracted the
support of renowned progressives such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Norman
Thomas, and Reinhold Niebuhr. But by the 1950s it had been absorbed
into the American foreign policy establishment. Throughout the Cold
War, the IRC was deeply involved in the volatile confrontations
between the two superpowers and participated in an array of
sensitive clandestine operations. The IRC thus evolved from a small
organization of committed activists to a global operation
functioning as one link in the CIA's covert network.
