Summary
Disarming Diplomat: The Memoirs of Ambassador Gerard C. Smith, Arms Control Negotiator offers many intimate details of prominent players in arms control negotiation, including Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John Foster Dulles, Henry Kissinger, and Jimmy Carter. A recipient of the Medal of Freedom for his commitment to arms control, Smith offers important lessons learned from a career in nuclear policy and diplomacy. With various nations vacillating on nuclear policy, this book is essential reading for anyone concerned about the role of nuclear weapons in the post-Cold War world or interested in the history of the Cold War, nuclear diplomacy, or international relations.
