Kraske's study begins with the creation of the Division of Cultural Affairs in the Department of State and describes in considerable detail the organization, projects, funding, politics, and the early leaders of international library development during the next ten years. ... Kraske's book is a good guide through this complex period. He has used his sources well, archival and human, in giving us an accurate account of a formative period in international library services.-Library Journal
