Here is an interesting review of a new book by John Norris, The Enduring Struggle: The History of the U.S. Agency for International Development and America's Uneasy Transformation of the World. The book presents a comprehensive history of America's foreign assistance agency and discusses the challenges, successes, and failures of USAID since its creation in 1961.
