      The book examines the evolution of US "deemed export" regulations, which govern the dissemination of sensitive unclassified technical information, particularly regarding foreign scientists from perceived adversarial nations. Authors Mario Daniels and John Krige argue that these export controls have significantly influenced American national security, foreign policy, and trade discussions since 1945. They highlight the growing involvement of universities and research institutions in these regulations, emphasizing that classification is just one of several critical tools developed in the post-war period to manage knowledge flow.
