Description: "This book is about policy makers, often unknown, who have wielded enormous influence on U.S. foreign policy. With the advent of the Cold War, presidents moved beyond their secretaries of state and reached out to individuals in the intelligence or military organizations and to their own White House advisers. These essays are about those individuals and the policies they influenced."--Jacket.
