Includes Forward, Part One: Early Moves for a New U.S. Foreign Policy after World War II; Part Two: Failure in Asia; and Part Three: The Future. As Special Assistant to Secretary of State Cordell Hull in the closing days of World War II; as Chairman of the President's Air Policy Commission in 1947; as Secretary of the Air Force during the Korean war; and as U.S. Ambassador to NATO from 1961-1965, Thomas K. Finletter has been intimately involved in the efforts (successful up to a point) to change the United States position from historical isolation to responsible membership in the world community. Mr. Finletter examines in detail the disastrous American policy in Southeast Asia and particularly Vietnam, which has seriously hurt our hopes of finding a proper substitute for abandoned isolation. Finally he appraises the prospects for avoiding a return to isolation and for checking the downward course which seems to threaten us and to spell failure for our ambitions for an orderly world oriented toward control of the terrible weapons of modern war and toward a world free of the great wars which have plagued mankind all through history.
