This copy is VG-; the text is clear, bright, and unmarked except light pencil marks on three pages and previous owner's name top front board; binding is tight, edges show slight shelfwear. Stated first edition and first printing. The jacket is like new: absolutely intact in all ways, including perfect color and design; price sticker bottom rear. We have a five star rating because of our fulfilment success and because our descriptions are accurate. All shipments within U.S. sent with Tracking. On foreign sales, because of the heavy weight of this book, we have to charge extra for shipping: however, we will only charge the difference between our regular shipping rate and the extra charge that the U.S.Post Office asks to ship the book. We guarantee: NO NASTY SURPRISES.

Reviews
Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc.
As a former U.S. ambassador to NATO under Reagan, Abshire is an obvious candidate to write a book calling for the development of a grand strategy to prevent a third world war. The strategy is based upon the renewal of NATO, particularly the conventional forces. With the alliance strengthened, global stability will result and Soviet coercion will be deterred. Internally the strategy calls for economic renewal through closer ties with Japan, and a revamping of the national security process. The later step includes broadening the vice president's executive powers. The author's experience allows insights into the complexity of decision-making in Washington. However, too many personal anecdotes detract from a practical set of strategic proposals.
