Dean Acheson and the making of U.S. foreign policy
by Douglas Brinkley
President Truman's Secretary of State (1949-1953), Dean Acheson was a crucial figure in the shaping of the postwar world. In an astonishingly creative and demanding tenure Acheson was involved to a degree seldom realized today in a huge range of issues: from the creation of NATO to the Korean War.
The result of a major commemorative conference, this volume brings together ten distinguished diplomatic and economic historians, commissioned to write on various aspects of Acheson's career, based on primary archival research. Dean Acheson and the Making of U.S. Foreign Policy is a milestone in the understanding of this complex, formative period.
