Rosier traces how Indians defined democracy, citizenship, and patriotism in domestic and international contexts. Native Americans served as a visible symbol of an America searching for rights and justice; American history is incomplete without their story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA superb, innovative book. The story of Native Americans in the Cold War is without doubt one of the most important in the relationship between race and foreign affairs, and Rosier is the first to tell it in full. Impressively researched and engagingly written, this book fills a major gap in the literature and will have widespread appeal. -- Thomas Borstelmann, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Cold War and the Color Line\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis pathbreaking book offers a fresh perspective on twentieth-century Indian politics, patriotism, and tribalism by tracking important intersections between domestic and international affairs. The Cold War and global colonization movements emboldened Native Americans to demand their rights. Simultaneously, events required them to defend their homelands from enemies both within and without the country. To be Indian and American poses no contradiction, as Rosier so wisely points out, if the nation lives up to its ideals and its treaty obligations. -- Sherry L. Smith, author of \u003ci\u003eReimagining Indians\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this extensively researched and well-documented study, Rosier examines modern Native American political history within an international context. -- Deborah Dawson * Booklist *\u003cbr\u003eFascinating...This is an important book, certain to generate considerable discussion. -- Brian Hosmer * Pacific Historical Review *\u003cbr\u003eServing Their Country presents a compelling argument...Rosier has produced an important book that will provide scholars with much to engage, discuss, and debate. -- Daniel M. Cobb * American Historical Review *\u003cbr\u003eA fascinating study documenting how federal American Indian policies intersected with national and international issues...Although other historians have written about specific eras in which this intersection occurred, Rosier's intriguing and sweeping study adds much to the literature. -- Laurence M. Hauptman * Journal of American History *\u003cbr\u003eBy putting Indian affairs in a broader, international context he does the field a great service. -- Joy Porter * Journal of American Studies *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Contents \t\t* List of Abbreviations \t\t* Prologue: An Empire for Liberty \t\t*1.
