Trade ReviewMy respect and high regard for Dick Lugar holds no bounds. I often sought Dick's counsel when faced with difficult foreign affairs problems. He is a good friend and a valued advisor. * George Bush *
It offers both a thought-provoking set of policy prescriptions and a highly sophisticated but approachable assertion of the contemporary centrist view of these issues in official Washington. * Perspectives on Political Science *
No written words can pay adequate homage to Dick Lugar's contributions to our nation's foreign policy, but these are essays he will read and recommend—a high tribute. -- George P. Shultz
