Provides the first extensive examination of a new patronage system for the social sciences that emerged in the US in the early Cold War years. Focusing on the defense department, the Ford Foundation, and the National Science Foundation, it explores the struggles of these funders to define what counted as legitimate social science and how their policies and programmes helped to shape the goals, subject matter, methodologies, and social implications of academic social research in the nuclear age.
