Reviews

This volume presents a well-documented survey of Dulles as President Eisenhower's secretary of state.
*CHOICE*

With lucid prose and command of the primary documents and secondary sources, Richard Immerman gives us a masterful acount of John Foster Dulles, his diplomacy, and his relations with Eisenhower. Not the least of his contributions is showing that Dulles was neither a tool of the president nor his leader, but rather his sometimes antagonistic partner.
*Robert Jervis, Adlai E. Stevenson Professor of International Relations, Columbia University*

John Foster Dulles is a superb biography of a complex and most important person, a fascinating analysis of the pivotal Eisenhower-Dulles relationship, and a masterful account of U.S. power and diplomacy in the 1950s.
