The highly acclaimed biography of one of the most important and
controversial Secretaries of State of the twentieth century, this
is an intimate portrait of the quintessential man of action who was
vilified by the McCarthyites for being soft on communism, yet set
in place the strategies and policies that won the Cold War and
brought down the USSR. This is the authoritative biography of Dean
Acheson, the most important and controversial secretary of state of
the twentieth century. Drawing on Acheson family diaries and
letters as well as revelations from Russian and Chinese archives,
historian James Chace traces Acheson's remarkable life, from his
days as a schoolboy at Groton and his carefree life at Yale to his
work for President Franklin Roosevelt on international financial
policy and his unique partnership with President Truman. It is an
important and dramatic work of history chronicling the momentous
decisions, events, and fascinating personalities of the most
critical decades of American history.
