It is told by a man who has traveled 75,000 miles to find out why the United Swtates is becoming the world's most unpopular coutnry while spending billions to make friends. Eugene W Castle interviewed hundreds of men and women in many countries. He got the lowdown on how mammoth appropriations are obtained by such Washington agencies as FOA and USIA. And he has concluded that "the failures, blunders, wrong guesses, bad timing, and gross extravagances of well-meaning but pathetically unqualified policy makers" are to blame for the "Yankee Go Home" signs that are painted on walls and fences all over the world." ; (ix), 278 pages.
