Summary:"Norman Holmes Pearson was a scholar and a spy. His scholarship brought him close to poets like Hilda Doolittle, Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, and W. H. Auden. But he also was close to the CIA, where he sponsored the careers of ambitious young men like James Jesus Angleton, the eventual director of counterintelligence during the cold war. Pearson's conception of American Studies meshed with the agendas of the CIA and other agencies that promoted American culture to the world. Greg Barnhisel gives us a clear and thorough understanding of the unassuming Pearson, a linchpin of America's cold war culture."
