Abstract
This introductory chapter provides an overview of the book. It explains why the book is different from other books about the diplomatic cables that were released by Wikileaks in 2010. It explains that this book weaves together America’s economic and strategic objectives to show that American diplomacy aims at an integrated global economy in which its corporations can operate with relative freedom. Strategic policy creates an enabling environment for these economic ambitions.
