U.S. President Harry Truman reportedly hoped that he would be remembered after fifty years for the Point Four Program. Truman is remembered for many things but the Point Four Program does not raise to the top of most lists. What was it and why is it significant? This new book examines the details of this active instrument of American foreign policy. It provides a thorough study of the methods and means employed in developing this now largely -- forgotten program which was instrumental in helping extend American power abroad.
