Networks of Empire: The US State Department's Foreign Leader Program in the Netherlands, France and Britain, 1950-1970 by Giles Scott-Smith. "Networks of Empire", by Giles Scott-Smith, examines the role played by the State Department's Foreign Leader Program in attempting to influence foreign perspectives of American strategic objectives. By detailing the way that this policy evolved in three key transatlantic nations - Britain, France and the Netherlands - Scott-Smith contributes significantly to the growing body of work assessing the efforts made by Washington to influence their allies during the Cold War. Published by Peter Lang, the book can be viewed on the publisher's website. You can view a copy of the book's cover, and an excerpt from the book's introduction. Also available is an article written recently by the author on 'The Successor Generation' .
