Drographies
IN AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY
Joseph A. Fry, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Series Editor
The Biographies in American Foreign Policy Series employs the
enduring medium of biography to examine the major episodes and
themes in the history of U.S. foreign relations. By viewing policy
formation and implementation from the perspective of influential
participants, the series seeks to humanize and make more acces-
sible those decisions and events that sometimes appear abstract or
distant. Particular attention is devoted to those aspects of the
subject’s background, personality, and intellect that most influenced
his or her approach to U.S. foreign policy, and each individual's
role is placed in a context that takes into account domestic affairs,
national interests and policies, and international and strategic
considerations.
The series is directed primarily at undergraduate and graduate
courses in U.S. foreign relations, but it is hoped that the genre and
format may also prove attractive to the interested general reader.
With these objectives in mind, the length of the volumes has been
kept manageable, the documentation has been restricted to direct
quotes and particularly controversial assertions, and the biblio-:
graphic essays have been tailored to provide historiographical as-
sessment without tedium.
Producing books of high scholarly merit to appeal to a wide
range of readers is an ambitious undertaking, and an excellent group
of authors has agreed to participate. Some have compiled exten-
sive scholarly records while others are just beginning promising
careers, but all are distinguished by their comprehensive knowl-
edge of U.S. foreign relations, their cooperative spirit, and their
enthusiasm for the project. It has been a distinct pleasure to have
been given the opportunity to work with these scholars as well as
with Richard Hopper and his staff at Scholarly Resources.
