I review content regularly.Signed First EditionsThe Politics of DiplomacyAuthor: James A Baker IIIIllustrations by Description: A True First Edition and SIGNED! James A. Baker III, a remarkable politician and statesman who represents a time when a divided Congress got things done, and when presidents and congress worked together. He was Ronald Reagan's Chief of Staff, and later Secretary of State for President Bush. Baker masterminded the Reagan Revolution and got much of Reagan’s hugely ambitious agenda through a hostile Congress. To this day he is considered the very prototype of an effective and strong presidential chief-of-staff. As Secretary of the Treasury he later negotiated the Tax Reform Act of 1986, a legislative feat no one believed possible in a divided government, and arguably the last time the U.S. saw significant tax code revisions all sides could agree on. As Secretary of State, Baker was key to bringing the Cold War in for a soft landing — working alongside Mikhail Gorbachev and Eduard Shevardnadze to maintain stability in Eastern Europe. You don't have to share the same politics to glean life lessons and historical value from this read.The scroll design on the spine is very handsome and a beautiful accent in a distinctive leather library.
