5.0 out of 5 stars A look inside Reagan's Foreign Policy, July 17, 2007

This review is from: Caveat: Realism, Reagan and Foreign Policy (Hardcover)

Alexander Haig was President Reagan's former Secretary of State. In this book he gives his views on international events in the Middle East, the Falklands, Poland, and Lebanon and spells out his differences with the Reagan strategists. He thus reveals his rivals' flaws as well as his own. This is an interesting personal first hand look inside the Foreign Policies and the Department of State of the Regan Administration. Well worth the read.

4.0 out of 5 stars An insider's view into the early Reagan administration, October 20, 2011

This review is from: Caveat: Realism, Reagan and Foreign Policy (Hardcover)

Haig was one of the early members of the Reagan administration, but one who did not quite fit in. Haig was not a Reagan "man," rather he came from the Nixon/Ford wing of the GOP establishment. Consequently he was never really on the inside of the decision-making process, and this book illustrates what he thought the results of this. Haig also shares his views of Reagan and his policies. And, he seems to find both wanting. Is this sour grapes? Or is it something else? Well, this book shows that Haig was just working another paradigm entirely. Reagan and he were just not on the same page. Still a great read.
