Sinossi
The author of this volume went straight from serving with the US army in Germany at the end of World War II to the work which has absorbed his attention ever since - the problems of refugees and migrants. This personal account of a remarkable career, spanning a period of more than 43 years, in the service of his government and in the international civil service, culminating in nine years as Director-General of the Intergovernmental Committee for Migration, contains a wealth of information on the generally little known but generous efforts made on behalf of these less fortunate human beings by the whole of the free world and, more particularly, by the government of the United States which, in addition to passing legislation that has enabled millions of refugees and migrants to settle in America since 1945, has made financial contributions to the organizations concerned with these problems amounting to billions of dollars. This book will be of value to future researchers and historians concerned with this field of activity, who will find concentrated in a single volume facts and figures which would normally have to be sought from numerous sources.
