Emeriti/ae

Robert Beisner published a new book, Dean Acheson: A Life in the Cold War. It describes the instrumental role that Acheson played as secretary of state under Harry Truman. The book has been well received by reviewers, including Henry Kissinger and the New York Times Book Review, with a review titled “Facing a Global Threat with Nonpartisan Clarity.” Reviewer Walter Isaacson wrote: “as [Acheson’s] current heirs at the State Department seek to temper the democracy-crusade idealism at the heart of the Bush Doctrine with a dose of practicality, pragmatism, and realism, Mr. Beisner’s book can offer some lessons about balancing commitments and resources, interests and ideals.” Beisner is satisfied that his decade of work has paid off.
