Author: WILLIAM P. BUNDY
Title: A Tangled Web: the making of foreign policy in the Nixon Presidency
Description: Hill and Wang, 1998. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 647. Richard Nixon's accomplishments in foreign affairs have long been cited as enduring successes: during his Administration the United States reestablished ties with China, initiated detente with the U.S.S.R. and ended American participation in the Vietnam War. A Tangled Web challenges these views and stands on its own as the first fully authoritative account of the Nixon-Kissinger record in its entirety. It scrutinizes every key aspect of foreign policy - planning, negotiation techniques, press coverage, political consequences, diplomatic effects, and relations with Congress and the American public. The result is a principled, clear-eyed assessment of short-term gains and losses as well as enduring legacies. William Bundy lays special stress on Nixon's often overriding concern for domestic political gains, and on the real danger in his and Kissinger's manipulative, often deceitful practices and in their indifference to the American democratic process. ISBN: 9780809091515. Cond./Kwaliteit: Redelijk.
