Founded in 1921, the Council on Foreign Relations is still active
today; in fact, the interest in its activities is growing. However,
to date little is known about the major aspects of the
organization. We are pleased to offer the first comprehensive
evaluation of its impact on the decision-making process of American
foreign policy, particularly in the immediate postwar period. Was
the CFR, as richist critics claimed, "the nexus of the organized
subversive effort in America"; or was it, as leftists claimed, "a
central link binding American foreign policy to the corporate upper
class"; or did it fall somewhere in between these rather extreme
characterizations? Based on extensive analysis of primary sources,
this book clearly delineates the Council's activities - its study
and discussion groups and its publications - and the developing
internation political, military, and economic situations. This
ground-breaking study was highly acclaimed when it first appeared
in German, and its availability in translation will be most
welcome. Michael Wala is Assistant Professor in the Department of
Social Sciences of the University of Erlangen-Nurnberg. He
previously edited Allen Dulles's The Marshall Plan (1993).
