Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

vii, [5], 208, [2] pages Footnotes. Index. Mailing label inside front cover and fep. Pencil underlining on several pages. No dust jacket. Some endpaper and edge discoloration. Published for the Council on Foreign Relations. Thomas Knight Finletter (November 11, 1893- April 24, 1980) was an American lawyer, politician, and statesman. Finletter practiced law in New York until he began his government service in 1941, as a special assistant to Secretary of State Cordell Hull on international economic affairs. In 1943, he was appointed executive director and later deputy director of the Office of Foreign Economic Coordinator (OFEC). He was in charge of planning economic activities related to liberated areas and was in control of matters of foreign exchange and matters relating to the operations of the Alien Property Custodian. In 1945, Finletter acted as consultant at the United Nations Conference on International Organization at San Francisco. He returned to public service in 1947, when President Truman established a five-man commission that inquired into all phases of aviation and national air policy. This commission was sometimes known as "The Finletter Commission". Finletter served as chairman of the Air Policy Commission which, on January 1, 1948, sent to the president the report entitled "Survival in the Air Age." President Truman appointed Finletter as the second Secretary of the Air Force succeeding Stuart Symington on April 24, 1950, in which office he served until January 20, 1953. President John F. Kennedy appointed Finletter to be the Ambassador to NATO in 1961. He served in that office until 1965. In this book--an elaboration of lectures given at the Council on Foreign Relations in the autumn of 1957--the former Secretary of the Air Force sketches the changes in the complex of international affairs in the last several years, and then discusses the terms of a new policy to meet the new conditions of Soviet power, European uncertainty and Asian unrest. While stressing the need to maintain our deterrent capabilities, the chief emphasis is upon a "forward strategy" in the areas of politics, economics and world opinion.…
