This compelling historical account meticulously examines the United States' multifaceted approach to refugees throughout the Cold War period. It uncovers the intricate interplay between American ideals of humanitarianism, the imperatives of foreign policy, and domestic political pressures that shaped the nation's role as both a sanctuary and a barrier. Bon Tempo's research offers a critical perspective on how these forces impacted the lives of displaced populations and defined a significant chapter in U.S. immigration history.
