Trade Review
"[This book] represents a really impressive achievement. Though a collaborative work, it is remarkably even and well-integrated ... It is certainly no exaggeration to say that this is the best-informed, most authoritative, and most provocative treatment of diplomatic history presently available for the period indicated."--The New York Times "A book like this one, in addition to providing pleasant and informative reading, will perform a useful function by increasing the understanding of the potential achievements and limitations of the diplomatic art."--The Nation "An enlightening and readable volume."--The New Yorker "An illuminating and authoritative commentary upon the conduct of international relations during this critical era."--American Historical Review
