Dean Acheson and the Creation of an American World Order
18 March 2009, 3:30-5pm

Robert J. McMahon, author of Dean Acheson and the Creation of an  
American World Order, Anna Kasten Nelson, distinguished historian in
residence at American University, and Elizabeth Edwards Spalding,
associate professor of government at Claremont McKenna College, will
discuss the life and career of Dean Acheson, one of America's foremost
Cold War diplomats and strategists. As a top State Department official
from 1941 to 1947 and as Harry S. Truman's secretary of state from 1949
to 1953, Acheson shaped many of the key U.S. foreign policy initiative  
of those years, including the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall Plan, the  
creation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the rebuilding of  
Germany and Japan, America's intervention in Korea, and its early  
involvement in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Right up until his  
death in 1971, Acheson continued to participate in major policy  
decisions and debates, including the Cuban missile and Berlin crises  
and the Vietnam War.
