• "The uneasy relationship between the arts, US art museums, and the federal government has not been thoroughly explored by scholars. This book focuses on the development of "national diplomacy exhibitions" during World War II and the early Cold War and explains how the war provided the government with an impetus to create a national arts policy"--
