Synopsis

With 40 years in public service, and 23 years on the Senate Foreign Relations committee, Richard Lugar's career and views are of particular interest today, when the U.S. must be particularly careful to choose a wise course of foreign policy. In this collection of essays, distinguished scholars, government officials, public servants and businessmen honor the man who sees Teddy Roosevelt's 'big stick...not as a substitute for good sense, but an expression of it,' in addition to analyzing the U.S.'s responsibilities and possible courses of action in the Middle East, in building democratic allies, in using intelligence, and much more.

Review:

My respect and high regard for Dick Lugar holds no bounds. I often sought Dick's counsel when faced with difficult foreign affairs problems. He is a good friend and a valued advisor. (George Bush)

It offers both a thought-provoking set of policy prescriptions and a highly sophisticated but approachable assertion of the contemporary centrist view of these issues in official Washington. (Perspectives on Political Science)

No written words can pay adequate homage to Dick Lugar's contributions to our nation's foreign policy, but these are essays he will read and recommend―a high tribute. (George P. Shultz)
