Editorial Reviews

Never has there been such a tremendous video resource for understanding the triumphs and tribulations of a public servant. In historic interviews by veteran NBC newsman Edwin Newman, Rusk candidly discusses growing up in Georgia, his experiences in the State Department, and his views of the war in Vietnam, the Nuclear Age, and U.S.-Soviet relations through the Cold War. This is a comprehensive overview of United States foreign relations through the end of the Cold War. Each tape in this series runs approximately 30 minutes.
