Sobre este artículo
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Simon & Schuster, 1988. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. One of the most influential Secretaries of State in our history, Dean Rusk wielded the kind of power normally reserved only for Presidents. Urbane, loyal, courtly, and reserved, he was also one of the most enigmatic and controversial figures in public life. Yet he left an indelible stamp on the major events that marked America's postwar ascendancy as a superpower, including cold war confrontations in Cuba and Berlin. He served as Secretary of State in both the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. As the principal architect of American foreign policy from 1961 to 1969, he defined our country's stance toward Soviet aggression--and became the chief spokesman for our involvement in Vietnam. WAGING PEACE AND WAR is the definitive account of the career of one of America's most remarkable statesmen and a revealing new look at our country's most significant foreign-policy decisions, from the Korean War to the conflict in Vietnam. 592 pp. Fine, first edition, first printing, in near-fine (some rubbing, small scrapes) mylar-protected dust jacket. [Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] NFBS1
