Description

New York, NY: Random House, 1991 Random House, New York. 1991. Hardcover. Book Club Edition. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: New in publisher's vinyl wrapping. DJ: New in publisher's vinyl wrapping. Red boards with black cloth overlay on the spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. 709 pp 8vo. This memoir is a fitting look at Clifford's remarkable political career. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s he seemed ready to advise presidents and offer his wisdom on the issues of the day. His impact on American politics began much earlier, with the presidency of Harry Truman who named him Special Counsel. He retained this title under John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson and was a key figure in many of the pivotal policy decisions of the Sixties (especially the Cuban Missile Crisis and Vietnam escalation). This is both a political history of the postwar years, as well as an intimate inside look at the workings of power. Clifford's portraits of major political figures are fresh and illuminating, and the book is filled with useful anecdotes both from his public and private life. He concludes with some ruminations on the Reagan-Bush years and broader reflections on history and politics. A clean new book in its vinyl wrapper.
