With an eye closely on Rusk's liberal internationalism, Defending the American Mission Abroad uses the Secretary of State as a foil to explain the accomplishments of United States leadership in the world and the pitfalls the nation encountered as it engaged in realpolitik and ideological struggle.
This biography examines Rusk's years as Secretary of State during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, with a focus on Soviet-American relations and the Vietnam War. Secretary of State Dean Rusk's tenure, at the peak of United States power and Cold War confrontation, exposed the discord between the search for universalist peace and pursuit of realist security. The lines of tension between the Cold War and Wilsonianism in the surrounding events, personalities, and policy developments of the 1960s and Rusk's responses are studied in detail.
Defending the American Mission Abroad will appeal to readers interested in biography, U.S. history, foreign relations, diplomatic history, and the Sixties.
