Richie's writing is sharp and strong. [He] introduces eight secretaries,
including John Quincy Adams, Henry Kissinger, and James
Baker. The profiles serve well as both personal story and historical
perspective on the foreign affairs each secretary dealt with.
Booklist
Also profiled are William Seward (Alaska); John Hay (Open
Door economics); Charles Evans Hughes (reduction of arms after
World War I); Dean Acheson and John Foster Dulles and their
anti-Soviet containment policies; and Colin Powell, secretary under
