Shaping American Foreign Policy from 1947 to the Present

Produktbeschreibung

The Policy Makers examines seven foreign policy advisers-from public servants in the state department to CIA directors and U.S. senators-and the policies each adviser influenced. By focusing on individuals whose policy making role was often unknown to the public, Anna Kasten Nelson and her contributors shed light on the myriad ways in which the postwar foreign policy of the United States has been shaped, sometimes in ways very damaging to the nation's security.
