The diaries begin in 1944, shortly after James Forrester became Secretary of the Navy, and end with his resignation in March 1949 as America's first Secretary of Defense. [. . .] Records of cabinet meetings, diplomatic communications, talks with men in high places in our own and other governments, are here as Forrestal set them down. One of the fascinations of the diaries is the extent to which they show ho many of the problems now so acute were already fully apparent in the closing days of World War II." #01691.
