Description
While tracking America's place in the world over the last half century, this memoir provides a painful inside-the-White House account of the escalation of the Vietnam War and the brutal pressure President Lyndon Johnson unleashed on Vice President Hubert Humphrey to go along with the troop buildup. John E. Rielly served as the vice president's foreign policy aide and watched with dismay as Humphrey succumbed to LBJ's domination and transformed from a skeptic into a cheerleader for the war, probably costing him the presidency in 1968. Rielly went on to a long career as head of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, dealing closely with leaders from around the world. My Foreign Affairs not only delivers vivid snapshots of the people who made the world we live in but also offers a cogent analysis of the course of American foreign policy since the Kennedy administration
