One of the most distinguished figures in twentieth-century American politics, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, was at the center of virtually every major political issue of his day, offering a distinct voice unique in its prescience, scholarliness, and statesmanlike manner. The contributors to this career-spanning assessment knew Moynihan as teacher, scholar, and colleague, and they use their diverse interactions with him to paint a picture of an extraordinary thinker with many areas of intellectual concern: social policy, international relations, public works, race relations, and government secrecy. In addition, the essayists explore Moynihan's role as a devoted public servant, from his experience in four successive presidential administrations through his time as ambassador and senator from New York.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"A deeper appreciation for Moynihan's worth emerges from the essays... The essayists themselves are a remarkable group and did not settle for easy encomiums. They take on different aspects of Moynihan's career with enough seriousness and lively writing to give this volume lasting value. Readers who think they understand Moynihan's public career are sure to find another dimension of it here. Such a book truly honors its subject." - Foreign Affairs"
