Dean Acheson and the Making of U.S. Foreign Policy by Douglas Brinkley

President Truman's Secretary of State (1949-53), Dean Acheson was a crucial figure in the shaping of the postwar world.

The result of a major commemorative conference, this volume brings together ten distinguished diplomatic historians, commissioned to write on various aspects of Acheson's career, based on primary archival research.
