Description
|
|
|
|
Best known for his dissent from U.S. Vietnam policy when he was undersecretary of state during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, diplomat and "wise man" George Ball also helped those administrations formulate policy concerning the European Community, the Congo, the Cuban missile crisis, and Cyprus. His last formal appointment was in 1968 as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, but he continued to advise and unofficially assist presidents and for another 25 years. James Bill here offers insights into the workings of foreign policy by examining Ball's career and the political problems with which he grappled.
