About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: W. W. Norton & Company, Incorporated, 1971. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. No man was closer to the behind-the-scenes confrontations, decisions, and soul-searching that attended the conduct of the war than Dean Acheson, then Secretary of State. He relates the dramatic events of the war, from its origins through the long search for peace and up to the tenuous cease-fire. From his unique vantage point, Mr. Acheson provides new insights into the political repercussions of the war, both at home and abroad, covering such matters as the actions of the Truman administration, the roles of congressional leaders, the rise of the POW problem. This account will be of vital interest to students of American foreign policy and United States history. 154 pages. Bottom of spine and bottom edge of front cover are slightly bumped and rubbed..
