During his vastly influential career, Acheson spearheaded the greatest foreign policy achievements in modern times, ranging from the Marshall Plan to the establishment of NATO. In a book filled with insight based on research in government archives, memoirs, letters, and diaries, historian Beisner illuminates Acheson's policy-making, describing how he led the State Department and managed his relationship with Truman. The book examines Acheson's major triumphs, including the highly underrated achievement of converting West Germany and Japan from mortal enemies to prized allies, and does not shy away from examining his missteps. But underlying all his actions, Beisner shows, was a tough-minded determination to outmatch the strength of the Soviet bloc--indeed, to defeat the Soviet Union at every turn.--From publisher description |

During his vastly influential career, Acheson spearheaded the greatest foreign policy achievements in modern times, ranging from the Marshall Plan to the establishment of NATO. In a book filled with insight based on research in government archives, memoirs, letters, and diaries, historian Beisner illuminates Acheson's policy-making, describing how he led the State Department and managed his relationship with Truman. The book examines Acheson's major triumphs, including the highly underrated achievement of converting West Germany and Japan from mortal enemies to prized allies, and does not shy away from examining his missteps. But underlying all his actions, Beisner shows, was a tough-minded determination to outmatch the strength of the Soviet bloc--indeed, to defeat the Soviet Union at every turn.--From publisher description Acheson, Dean / 1893-1971 Acheson, Dean / 1893-1971 fast Acheson, Dean 1893-1971 Acheson, Dean 1893-1971 (DE-588)118643665 gnd rswk-swf Cold War (1945-1989) fast 1945 - 1989 fast Geschichte 1945-1953 gnd rswk-swf BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Historical bisacsh HISTORY. bisacsh Diplomatieke betrekkingen gtt Buitenlandse politiek gtt Koude Oorlog gtt Diplomatic relations fast Statesmen fast Außenpolitik Diplomatische Beziehungen Geschichte Statesmen United States Biography Cold War Außenpolitik (DE-588)4003846-4 gnd rswk-swf USA USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Außenpolitik (DE-588)4003846-4 s Geschichte 1945-1953 z 1\p DE-604 Acheson, Dean 1893-1971 (DE-588)118643665 p 2\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 0-19-504578-5 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-0-19-504578-9 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=167541 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
