Traces the expansion of US military aid to a global scale as part of the cold war effort to stiffen allies' resistance to communism and demonstrate US commitment. Draws on government records, personal papers, and interviews to show how officials confused the symbolic purpose with military necessities, and started a nearly unstoppable spiral of growth.
