About this Item
Octavo, gray boards and blue cloth lettered in gilt; unclipped pictorial dust jacket; with a touch of rubbing. First edition. A presentation copy, inscribed: "To Lois and Phil Jessup with my gratitude for their encouragement in my finishing this book, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, April 20, 1980," on the title page; Lindbergh mentioned Jessup in the volume. ---- 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. A significant work with a stellar provenance. Seller Inventory # ABE-16376093114
