Anthropological Intelligence

"In this objective and scrupulous account, David H. Price performs an invaluable service by raising a central ethical question: To what extent should social scientists lend their skills to national tasks, even if the goals are not those with which they are in agreement? By carefully documenting what American anthropologists did to help win World War II, he illuminates that murky ethical space that lies between patriotism and the tasks of science."--Sidney W. Mintz, Johns Hopkins University

David H. Price is an associate professor of sociology and anthropology at St. Martin's University.
