An Intellectual Biography of William C. Bullitt

Beschreibung

William Christian Bullitt (1891-1967) was the most cosmopolitan US diplomat of his time. A political visionary, his views were often contentious, although he was often proven right by events. This biography sheds light on the fascinating life of an important political figure who counted Lenin, Roosevelt, Chiang-Kai-Shek, Charles de Gaulle, and Sigmund Freud among his personal relationships.
