From this series of five lectures delivered at Hollins College emerges a sane re-examination of many of the crucial decisions in American foreign policy in the first half of the 20th century. The author spoke from his perspective as a member of the State Department's Policy Planning staff. It is not a book of answers or foolproof formulas for solving difficult international situations. Instead it is a discussion of the major circumstances which limit the course of American diplomacy today. Originally published in 1954 by Henry Holt and Company.
