Mission Possible

Description:

"The Latin American Agri-business Development Corporation (LAAD) was one of many private initiatives taken at the height of the Cold War to alleviate poverty in countries threatened by communist insurgencies. As its name indicates, LAAD's mission was to promote rural development by funding local agri-business enterprises to create new permanent jobs and new economic activity. In Mission Possible, Robert L. Ross, gives an insider's account of the company's first three decades."--BOOK JACKET.
