Dean Rusk's influential State Department career spanned the birth of the United Nations and NATO, the creation of Israel, and the Korean War. He served as Secretary of State to John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson during the Bay of Pigs, Cuban Missile Crisis, and Vietnam War. But he retired vowing never to write his memoirs. In As I Saw It, Dean Rusk finally breaks his silence. 32 pages of photographs.

Reviews
In this volume, transcribed from tapes he made for his son, Rusk reminisces about his family, his WW II military service and his various government posts and offers his opinions on education and the Vietnam era. PW called this "engrossing, enlightening. . . . An unreconstructed hawk, Rusk is blunt about what he considers the correctness of U.S. intervention in Southeast Asia." Photos.
