Review:
...Paula Hoy has done an exemplary job of untangling the types of aid, the typology and structure of donor organizaitons, the motivations, and the results all in clear stylistic and textual organization. She is uncompromisingly honest, not only in covering the controversial elements of aid, but also in raising several of the questions for which there really are no answers... -- Counterpoise, January 1999
The author, a passionate advocate of foreign aid, argues that the primary objective of US foreign aid is to preserve its own territorial and political security. Foreign aid is also provided to ensure the political security and cooperation of the strategically important allies of the US. -- Abstracts of Public Administration, Development, and Environment, 97/98
