| Zusammenfassung: | In the years after World War II, Georgetown's leafy streets were home to an unlikely group of Cold Warriors: a coterie of affluent, well-educated, and connected civilians who helped steer American strategy from the Marshall Plan through McCarthyism, Watergate, and the endgame of Vietnam. The Georgetown set included Phil and Kay Graham, husband-and-wife publishers of The Washington Post; Joe and Stewart Alsop, odd-couple brothers who were among the country's premier political pundits; Frank Wisner, a driven, manic-depressive lawyer in charge of CIA covert operations; and a host of other diplomats, spies, and scholars responsible for crafting America's response to the Soviet Union from Truman to Reagan. This was a smaller, cozier Washington--utterly unlike today's capital--where presidents made foreign policy in consultation with reporters and professors over martinis and hors d'oeuvres, and columnists like the Alsops promoted those policies in the next day's newspapers. Together, they navigated the perilous years of the Cold War, yielding triumphs--and tragedies--with very real consequences for present-day America and the world.--From publisher description |

The Georgetown set included Phil and Kay Graham, husband-and-wife publishers of The Washington Post; Joe and Stewart Alsop, odd-couple brothers who were among the country's premier political pundits; Frank Wisner, a driven, manic-depressive lawyer in charge of CIA covert operations; and a host of other diplomats, spies, and scholars responsible for crafting America's response to the Soviet Union from Truman to Reagan. This was a smaller, cozier Washington--utterly unlike today's capital--where presidents made foreign policy in consultation with reporters and professors over martinis and hors d'oeuvres, and columnists like the Alsops promoted those policies in the next day's newspapers. Together, they navigated the perilous years of the Cold War, yielding triumphs--and tragedies--with very real consequences for present-day America and the world.--From publisher description Cold War / (1945-1989) fast Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte 1945-1989 gnd rswk-swf Political culture / Washington (D.C.) / History / 20th century Cold War Upper class / Washington (D.C.) / History / 20th century Manners and customs fast Political culture fast Upper class fast Alltag, Brauchtum Geschichte Politische Elite (DE-588)4076219-1 gnd rswk-swf Ost-West-Konflikt (DE-588)4075770-5 gnd rswk-swf Georgetown (Washington, D.C.) / History / 20th century Washington (D.C.) / History / 20th century Washington (D.C.) / Social life and customs / 20th century Georgetown (Washington, D.C.) / Biography Washington (D.C.) / Biography Washington (D.C.) fast Washington (D.C.) / Georgetown fast Washington, DC (DE-588)4064682-8 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content Washington, DC (DE-588)4064682-8 g Politische Elite (DE-588)4076219-1 s Ost-West-Konflikt (DE-588)4075770-5 s Geschichte 1945-1989 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-0-385-35304-5 |
