Item description from seller

Octavo, xiv, 506pp. Blue cloth, title stamped in gilt and red. Stated "first edition" on copyright page, with no later printings noted. Top edge dyed yellow, faint sunning to top quarter of cloth, a near fine example. In the publisher's fine dust jacket, retail price of $8.95 on front flap, bright illustrations.

Johnson / May 28, 1968." An exceptional association copy. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance (1917-2002) served as the Deputy Secretary of Defense under President Lyndon B. Johnson from 1964 to 1967.

Vance was also the primary negotiator during the Panama Canal Zone disputes and helped de-escalate the Cyprus crisis in 1967. This foreign diplomatic experience led to his nomination as President Carter's Secretary of State in 1977.…
