Book excerpt: As a study of personalities, this volume does not purport to be a detailed history of American diplomacy since 1898. But since the Secretaries of State...cannot escape some responsibility for national decisions in the realm of foreign affairs, there is little of major significance in the American diplomatic record itself which is not present in the successive essays of this book.
