Abstract
This article discusses a book that argues that although the United States was never a formal member of the League of Nations, it was still involved in the League's auxiliary technical organizations through support from U.S. private bodies. The United States donated around $5.5 to $6.6 million to these organizations, primarily through the Rockefeller Foundation and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. This support allowed the U.S. to play an important role in the League's technical activities and influence their agendas, leading to an increasing "Americanization" of the League system. However, the book has some errors and deficiencies in its analysis of political, diplomatic, and legal matters. Overall, the book provides an original and valuable perspective on the impact of philanthropy on the League's technical bodies. [Extracted from the article]
