Nelson Strobridge "Strobe" Talbott III (born April 25, 1946) is an American foreign policy analyst associated with Yale University and the Brookings Institution, a former journalist associated with Time magazine, and a diplomat who served as the Deputy Secretary of State from 1994 to 2001. He was president of Brookings from 2002 to 2017. Following Bill Clinton's election as president, Talbott was invited into government where he served at first managing the consequences of the Soviet breakup as Ambassador-at-Large and Special Adviser to the Secretary of State Warren Christopher on the New Independent States. After leaving government, he was for a period Director of the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization. Talbott was the sixth president of the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., from 2002 to 2017. At Brookings, he was responsible for formulating and setting policies, recommending projects, approving publications and selecting staff. He brings to Brookings the experience of his careers spanning journalism, government service and academe, and his expertise in US foreign policy with specialties on Europe, Russia, South Asia and nuclear arms control. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. An inside account of the long, difficult search for a breakthrough in nuclear arms control, built around the controversial career of leading negotiator Paul Nitze. Paul Henry Nitze (January 16, 1907 - October 19, 2004) was an American politician who served as United States Deputy Secretary of Defense, U.S. Secretary of the Navy, and Director of Policy Planning for the U.S. State Department. He is best known for being the principal author of NSC 68 and the co-founder of Team B. He helped shape Cold War defense policy over the course of numerous presidential administrations. Nitze entered government service during World War II after having been hired by his Wall Street colleague James Forrestal when Forrestal became an administrative assistant to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In 1942, he became finance director of the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, working for Nelson Rockefeller. From 1944 to 1946, Nitze served as director and then as Vice Chairman of the Strategic Bombing Survey for which President Harry S. Truman awarded him the Legion of Merit. One of his early government assignments was to visit Japan in the immediate aftermath of the nuclear attacks and assess the damage. This experience framed many of his later feelings about the power of nuclear weapons and the necessity of arms control. In the early postwar era, he served in the Truman Administration as Director of Policy Planning for the State Department (1950-1953). He was also the principal author in 1950 of the highly influential but secret National Security Council policy paper, NSC 68, which provided the strategic outline for increased US expenditures to counter the perceived threat of Soviet armament. Nitze co-founded the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) with Christian Herter in 1943. His publications during this period include U.S. Foreign Policy: 1945-1955. In 1961, President Kennedy appointed Nitze Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs. In 1963, Nitze became the Secretary of the Navy, serving until 1967. Following his term as Secretary of the Navy, he served as Deputy Secretary of Defense (1967-1969), as a member of the US delegation to the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) (1969-1973). Paul Nitze was a cofounder of Team B, a 1970s intelligence think tank that challenged the National Intelligence Estimates provided by the CIA. The Team B reports became the intellectual foundation for the idea of "the window of vulnerability" and of the massive arms buildup.…

    Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Inscribed First Edition, First Printing -- with an interesting association -- of this portrait of the decades-long Cold War effort to limit the proliferation and threat of nuclear arms by defense specialist, diplomat, and senior arms negotiator Paul Nitze. This copy is inscribed by Strobe Talbott to Thomas Hughes, an important international affairs leader of the Cold War and Vietnam War era, who, as head of the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research, was a leading (and prescient) skeptic of escalation of U.S. military engagement in Vietnam early in the President Lyndon Johnson administration. Hughes was later president of the Carnegie Endowment for Peace. Also includes a presentation note from Talbott to Hughes written on Time Magazine letter head. 416 pages, illustrated. Has underlined sentences in a paragraph on Nitze's bureaucratic feud with Richard Perle. Also, has underlines oddly in the short dedication to William Bundy and Sidney Drell. Otherwise minimal sign of previous use. Signed by Author(s). …

An inside account of the long, difficult search for a breakthrough in nuclear arms control, built around the controversial career of leading negotiator Paul Nitze. Paul Henry Nitze (January 16, 1907 - October 19, 2004) was a high-ranking United States government official who helped shape Cold War defense policy over the course of numerous presidential administrations. Nitze entered government service during World War II, serving first on the staff of James Forrestal when Forrestal became an administrative assistant to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In 1942, he became finance director of the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, working for Nelson Rockefeller. From 1944 to 1946, Nitze served as director and then as Vice Chairman of the Strategic Bombing Survey for which President Harry S. Truman awarded him the Legion of Merit.
