LES-Drummond and Coblentz
have done for Dulles what he was
never able to do for himself dur
ing his lifetime: they have made
him seem like q human being.
On the whole, these two authors
have tried to untangle our sticky
foreign policy during the first six
years Of the Eisenhower Admins
tration. This was no easy job, be-
cause Dulles was undoubtedly one
Of the most devious men ever to
serve as Secretary of State.
But his thickness, his Iegalistic
approach to relations with our al
lies, and his unconsciously low
opinion Of those who did not see
the light as he saw it were all
overshadowed, in the authors
judgment by a religious fervor that
sustained him In moments Of the
most serious international tension.
Dulles tried to recreate the spirit
Of a crusade in his battle against
Communism. This was not, as the
book relates 1t, just the US. VS..
the U.S.S.R. It was Christianity
against godlessness.
Although the authors treat him
alphabetically, Dulles still does
not emerge as a national hero. But
he gets an "E" for effort.
Aside from their appraisal Of
Dulles as a man and world figure,
DrImmond and Coblentz have done
something that few authors in the
field Of foreign affairs do these
days. They went out and talked
to as many Of the diplomats as
they could contact on this side Of
the Iron Curtain.
The result Is q tremendous
wealth Of new data, not only about
Dulles but about the whole Eisen-
hover Administration in its con-
duct Of foreign affairs.
I found more fresh information
in these 24O pages than in dozens
Of the inside" stories that sup
posedly gave the low-down on Dull
les diplomacy when he was still
alive. It's well worth reading.

The other Is Duel at the Brink"
by Roscoe Drummond and CASTOR

The former is the autobiography

the latter is a recounting Of John

important, for altogether different
reasons.
In his autobiography Mr.. East

haps, that helps to explain why

do not yield to what must be a
natural impulse to run him out Of

him economically. His paper does
not have a single subscriber In

have gone.
Yet there must be other reasons
for their tolerance of this modern
