About this book

A ground-breaking new book that dares to bridge the divide between peacemakers and military strategists.

As the world reels from an unprecedented surge in destructive wars and international crises, a new and critically important book challenges conventional wisdom and asks: Can peace be built by dialogue alone? When is the use of force necessary? Is there cause for hope? With 20 unflinching first-person accounts, the book uniquely gives voice to both sides of the conflict resolution debate from seasoned UN negotiators and grassroots peacebuilders to intelligence experts and military veterans.

This book is an essential read for those studying conflict resolution, international relations, or working in the field, looking to know more about the lived experiences of UN officials, translators, ambassadors, NGOs and military personnel.

Foreign Relations of the United States: 1964-1968: National Security Policy
<p><b>NOTE: NO FURTHER DISCOUNT FOR THIS PRINT PRODUCT--OVERSTOCK SALE -- Significantly reduced list price while supplies last</b></p><p>State Department Publication 10921. General Editor: David S. Patterson. Documents United States national security policy during the Johnson administration. This volume presents documentation illuminating responsibility for major foreign policy decisions in the U.S. Government, with emphasis on President Lyndon B. Johnson and his advisers. The documents include memoranda and records of discussions that set forth policy issues and options and show decisions or actions taken. The emphasis is on the development of U.S. policy and on major aspects and repercussions of its execution rather than on the details of policy execution.</p><p>The volume documents as much as possible the roles of President Lyndon Johnson and his key foreign policy advisers, particularly his White House assistants McGeorge Bundy and Walt W. Rostow, Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, and Secretary of State Dean Rusk, in the administration's consideration of a wide range of national security issues. Major topics covered in the volume include: analyses of the Soviet military threat, the development of new U.S. weapons, the question of U.S. development and deployment of an anti-ballistic missile (ABM) system, chemical and biological weapons, tactical nuclear weapons, counter-insurgency policy, improvement of command and control systems, and military force structure.</p><p>Included is a selection of intelligence estimates and analyses seen by high-level policymakers, especially those that were made available to President Johnson.</p><p>The documents in this volume are presented chronologically according to Washington time or, in the case of conferences, in the order of individual meetings. Memoranda of conversation are placed according to the time and date of the conversation, rather than the date the memorandum was drafted.</p><p>Related products: <br /><b>The Joint Chiefs of Staff and National Policy, Volume 8, 1961-1964</b> is available here: https: //bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/008-000-01039-1<br /><br /><b>Underestimated: Our Not So Peaceful Future</b> is avaiable here: https: //bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/008-000-01175-3<br /><br /><b>Nuclear Weapons Materials Gone Missing: What Does History Teach?</b> can be found here: https: //bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/008-000-01175-3<br /><br /><b>Airborne Hazards Related to Deployment i</b>s available here: https: //bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/008-023-00154-5<br /><br /><b>Russian Ballistic Missile Defense: Rhetoric and Reality</b> is available here: https: //bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/008-000-01163-0<br /><br /><b>Parsing Chinese-Russian Military Exercises</b> is available here: https: //bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/008-000-01135-4<br /><br /><b>Chinese Lessons from Other People's' Wars </b>can be found here: https: //bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/008-000-01078-1<br /><br /><b>Seize the High Ground: The Army in Space and Missile Defense</b> can be found here: https: //bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/008-029-00392-9<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> </p>
