( The realists' concern for power in the global perspecti...)
The realists' concern for power in the global perspective is evident and persuasive throughout as Plischke chooses to focus on concepts such as national interests; vital interests; and national purposes, goals, and policy perspectives. The author also looks at national planning and strategy and at the general concept of decision making in foreign policy. A must for graduate students in international relations and therefore for the libraries that support them. Choice This volume provides a broad survey of ideas, literature, and national practice concerning the principal constituents of foreign relations. Much has been written concerning the elements of foreign policy but little has been done to define their meanings and to meld them into an integrated volume. This study is based on a broad survey of English-language commentary on foreign affairs, and on the development of American concepts, interpretations, and commentary. The treatment is historic, explanatory, and systematic. The object is to progress from perceptions and ideas to usable terminology and concrete meanings. The overall goal is to distill from these commonly used concepts their essential and universal meanings.

( Eminent diplomatic historian Plischke has done a signal...)
Eminent diplomatic historian Plischke has done a signal service for both students and scholars in this new look at the US president's direct role in foreign affairs. Plische, in fact, broadens the subject beyond the title of the book to look at the role of the White House in foreign policy, particularly in the use of presidential emissaries and the modern role of national security advisors. The time frame for the book is generally the 20th century, although the author appropriately covers prior events having implications for direct presidential involvement in foreign affairs. Despite the predominance of public perceptions that summit meetings are a US-Soviet innovation of recent years, Plischke explains the key role of earlier presidents such as Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Harry Truman. With his typically thorough scholarship Plischke produces a very long study, justified by the richness of the material. A useful bibliography and a superb index make the book even more valuable. Undergraduates as well as graduate students will find this book an invaluable source as they seek to understand the antecedents of current controversies over presidents becoming their own secretaries of state.

(Berlin lies more than 100 miles behind the Iron Curtain w...)
Berlin lies more than 100 miles behind the Iron Curtain within the Soviet-occupied zone of Germany. It is not, however, part of that zone. It is a separate political entity for which the four major allies of the war against Nazi tyranny are jointly responsible. Its special status stems from the fact that it was the capital not only of Hitler's Third Reich but of the German nation formed in the latter half of the 19th century. In essence, the four major allies agreed to hold Berlin, as the traditional capital, in trust for a democratic and united Germany. United States, Department of State Berlin-I96I (1961) The division of Germany, and with it the bifurcation of its one-time capital - Berlin - has produced one of the foremost political contro versies of the mid-twentieth century. There has long been a "German problem," and volumes have been written concerning the history and culture of the country, the Nazi era and World War II, the Allied occupation, and recent political and economic developments in Ger many. Yet, the "Berlin problem" - as part of the broader German question - is historically of the current era.
