Description: David H. Price uses information from CIA, FBI, and military records to map the connections between academia and the strategic use of anthropological research to further the goals of the U.S. military and outline the major influence the American security state has had on the field of anthropology.
Review Quotes: "Price's work has been marked by extensive use of governmental archives, including many sources declassified through the Freedom of Information Act. Simply bringing this information to light should be reckoned as a major achievement....Price has written, if not a fully sufficient book (who has?), then a profoundly necessary one that challenges what American anthropology has been and what it remains."--Robert Oppenheim "Journal of American History"
