Clark Clifford's view
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book was written by Clark Clifford. It his his recollections of a lifetime of service to his country from WWII on. He worked for Truman and most all the other Presidents in one capacity or another up till the time of Reagan.He got to Washington by accident, wanting to be a St. Louis lawyer as a career. He helped set up the Truman doctrine, the Marshall plan, and get Truman elected in 1948.He was one of the "wise men" under LBJ, becoming the Sect of Defense when McNamara resigned.He had input to Richard Nixon's efforts, and has few good things to say about him.He tried to help Jimmy Carter, to no avail, and watched from the sidelines as the Dukasis election campaign unraveled.His book details many events that were just headlines, and shows the decision making that went on in some of the nations biggest decisions on war and peace.He is one of our countries heros.
