520			_a"No national issue has aroused more heated debate in halls of Congress and in the public press than has the issue of U.S. foreign aid. Yet, until this book was written, the issue has been beclouded by wild half-truths, and no unbiased report on any single foreign aid program has been available to the American public. This book fills that need. From its pages the reader may, for the first time, gain a fair and unbiased account of what actually happens to U.S. dollars overseas. C.A. Munkman, the author, served for four years as chief of a unit in the first U.S. foreign aid program - the U.S. Economic Mission to Greece. Here he tells of all the attempts to rehabilitate Greek industry and agriculture, its public health services, its housing program - and of myriad of problems which consequently arose. It is his contention 1.) that the present U.S. policies of foreign aid are only partially effective and 2.) that these policies result in unnecessary waste. He has not failed to suggest improvements which, if put into practice, would benefit the entire U.S. foreign aid program to countries in every corner of the world. It was Mr. Munkman's job in Greece to discover the actural results of our aid expenditure in that country, to identify the causes of the troubles which developed within the program, and, if possible, to propose steps for improving particular foreign aid projects. In his job Mr. Munkman prepared almost a hundred official reports, all of them based on personal experience and on interviews with top officials. It is on these reports that he has based this book."-- Publisher's description.
