About this title

Synopsis

"As autobiography (this book) is enthralling, as history indispensable, as a manual on government and diplomacy invaluable".--Wallace Carroll, New York Times Book Review. Photographs.

Review

The passing decades confirm Dean Acheson's place as the clearest thinking, most effective Secretary of State of the twentieth century. As a writer he has no equal since Thomas Jefferson first occupied the office in the eighteenth century.--Gaddis Smith, Yale University
