"A timely, well-written history." — Norm Hutcherson, Library Journal
"A fascinating and well-told political tale spun by a historian who has searched archives and presidential libraries." — Choice
"Wells's rich account provides a deep understanding of how antitrust has quietly shaped much of the postwar political economy . . . . It is essential reading for specialists in business-government relations and merits attention from all historians who are looking to think about and participate in a broader conversation about politics, economy, and society." — Reviews in American History
"A carefully crafted volume that should be of great interest to students of business and political history." — Marc Allen Eisner, American Historical Review
"Wyatt Wells has written an important book that makes a major contribution to out understanding of antitrust and its domestic and international milieu." — Journal of American History
"A rich sweeping history of the cartel problem. . . . A first-rate book that will be of interest to policymakers, scholars, and business leaders as they enter into the global economy in the twenty-first century." — Donald T. Critchlow, editor, Journal of Policy History
"This book is essential reading for those interested in how the United States sought to transform the international economy in its own image, a mission whose impact still reverberates in today’s world." — Tom Schwartz, Vanderbilt University
"With style and verve, Wells sheds much-needed light on a murky, widely misunderstood, but vital subject. With an insight and thoroughness seldom encountered in histories of international cartels, he probes the underlying logic that led to their creation and persistence. This is a book that will become the standard in its field." — Thomas McCraw, Harvard University Graduate School of Business Administration
