The truth is our weapon
the rhetorical diplomacy of Dwight D. Eisenhower and John Foster Dulles
by Chris Tudda
"President Dwight D. Eisenhower and his secretary of state, John Foster Dulles, deployed a tactic Chris Tudda calls "rhetorical diplomacy" - sounding a belligerent note of anti-Communism in speeches, addresses, press conferences, and private meetings with allies and with Moscow. Yet all the while, Tudda discloses, the two were confidentially committed to a contradictory course - the establishment of a strong system of collective security in Western Europe, peaceful accommodation of the Soviet Union, and the maintenance of a new, albeit divided Germany.".
"Based on American, British, Eastern European, and Soviet primary sources - many only recently unearthed - The Truth is Our Weapon is a major contribution to the historiography of Eisenhower's diplomacy and an important statement about the implications of public and private policy making."--BOOK JACKET.
