Small 4to. Brown cloth spine with gilt lettering and beige paper over boards. xii, 527pp. Frontispiece, illustrations. Very good. Spine mildly discolored, though binding tight and nice and internally fine; lacks dust jacket. Nice first edition of the autobiography of the influential American diplomat and State Department official (1909-94). Interesting provenance, hailing from the collection of Adlai E. Stevenson III (1930-2021), U.S. Senator from Illinois (1969-81) and son of the governor and two-time Democratic presidential candidate -- who appears often in this book and is pictured. Senator Stevenson pens two quotations from the text -- a dozen or so lines -- and notes the page where it appears, squiggling the margin of that page as well.
