A Tangled Web: The Making of Foreign Policy in the Nixon Presidency

A Tangled Web: The Making of Foreign Policy in the Nixon Presidency by Bundy, William P.. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780809016242.

An authoritative historical assessment of american foreign policy in a crucial postwar decade. William Bundys magisterial book focuses on the controversial record of Richard Nixons and Henry Kissingers often overpraised foreign policy of 1969 to 1973, an era that has rightly been described as the hinge on which the last half of the century turned. Bundys principled, clear-eyed assessment in effect pulls together all the major issues and events of the thirty-year span from the 1940s to the end of the Vietnam War, and makes it clear just how dangerous the consequences of Nixon and Kissingers deceptive modus operandi were.
