A former Canadian diplomat describes the conflicts between governments and disagreements within international organizations during the early 1980s over subsidizing agriculture. He shows how the battles were largely resolved through the Uruguay Round of the negotiations for the General Agreement on Taxes and Tariffs, but points out that though the international strife is over, the danger to small farms and farmers throughout the world continues to grow. His analysis is designed to offer insight ahead of the next round of farm trade talks scheduled to begin in 1999. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

<p>At a time when intelligence successes and failures are at the center of public discussion, this book provides an unprecedented inside look at how intelligence agencies function during war and peacetime. As the direct result of the 1998 Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act, the volume draws upon many documents declassified under this law to reveal what U.S. intelligence agencies learned about Nazi crimes during World War II and about the nature of Nazi intelligence agencies' role in the Holocaust. It examines how some U.S. corporations found ways to profit from Nazi Germany's expropriation of the property of German Jews. The work also reveals startling new details on the Cold War connections between the U.S. government and Hitler's former officers.</p>

The unprecedented influence of United States military governments in Germany and Japan makes this volume a funda­mental contribution to several basic fields: history, political science, eco­nomics, archival administration, mil­itary studies, civil affairs, and inter­national law and criminal justice. Although the speeches and discussions of the 1977 Americans as Proconsuls” Conference were often piquant, enter­taining, nostalgic, each addressed the core issues of the topic, often setting the historical record straight. The chief vir­tue of these essays, however, may be, as Edward N. Peterson states in his own piece, that The scholar’s history of the occupation could still assist the public and the politician to avoid the pitfalls of impossible dreams and illusions created by an American isolation from the rest of suffering humanity.”
