Crises in U.S. Foreign Policy: An International History Reader

This book covers major events in US foreign policy, such as the World Wars, Vietnam and Korea, Cold War, and Iran. Each chapter provides a survey of the event, dates, and details. These portions are sometimes a little difficult to follow (for example, to grasp the timeline of events). The most interesting part of this book is the inclusion of a lage amount of actual documents pertaining to each crisis. for example, excerpts from presidential correspondence, NSC reports, and other diplomatic materials. This is most interesting, to see the events thru the eyes of the actual participants.
