[8], 328 pages, frontispiece (portrait) , cloth, DJ, very good. Stated first edition. From the dust jacket: "During the Cold War's most trying years, John Foster Dulles provided strength and leadership to a degree that few fully appreciated at the time. This political biography is a powerful story, simply and impressively told. The underlying motives of John Foster Dulles emerge clearly, and this remarkable man's life can be seen in perspective, almost as one might view a magnificent architectural structure. " From the Britannica Concise Encyclopedia, "John Foster Dulles (1888-1969) U. S. Secretary of state (1953 - 59). He was counsel to the American Peace Commission at Versailles, France, and later helped oversee the payment of World War I reparations. He helped prepare the charter of the UN and was a delegate to its General Assembly (1946 - 49). He negotiated the complex Japanese peace treaty (1949 - 51). As secretary of state under Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower, he advocated active opposition to Soviet actions and developed the Eisenhower Doctrine. His critics considered him inflexible and harsh and a practitioner of "brinkmanship" for raising international tensions and bringing the country to the brink of war; later assessments credit his firmness in checking communist expansion.
