Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Octavo, tan boards and rust cloth lettered in gilt; unclipped pictorial dust jacket, with a touch of edge-wear. First edition, first printing. A presentation copy, inscribed: "To Phil Jessup, In appreciation of his wise guidance of our policies in Southeast Asia during [?] years, Ed Stanton," on…the front endpaper. ---- The recipient Philip C. Jessup, a judge on the International Court of Justice and veteran U.S. diplomat, was credited with playing a major role in ending the Soviet blockade of West Berlin. Jessup was a U.S. representative to the United Nations General Assembly, as well as a member of the International Court of Justice at The Hague. He also served as a U.S. ambassador at large from 1949 until his resignation in 1953. During that time, he was one of the closest advisers of then-Secretary of State Dean Acheson. After Jessup was maligned by Senator Joe McCarthy for purported communist "affinities," General Dwight D. Eisenhower heralded Jessup's "devotion to the principles of Americanism." McCarthy's charges kept Jessup from being reappointed to the U.S. delegation to the United Nations in 1951 but President Harry S. Truman made him an alternate delegate the following year. In 1950 Edwin F. Stanton, the ambassador to Thailand, invited Ambassador Jessup to attend a crucial meeting with the Thai government. Stanton recalled Jessup's contribution in his "Brief Authority." A significant work with a stellar provenance. Inscribed by Author(s).
