Mr. Werking explores both the methods and the motives of these \"master architects.\" Unlike other writers, he finds that the foundations and general structure of the United States foreign service emerged before World War I. He sees its development as prompted less by foreign crises than by economic conditions-particularly the need to stimulate export trade.
