Notes. Index. DJ torn and soiled. David Callahan is founder and editor of Inside Philanthropy, a digital media site. Previously, he was a Senior Fellow at Demos, a public policy group based in New York City that he co-founded in 1999. He is also an author and lecturer. He is best known as the author of the books The Givers and The Cheating Culture. Callahan has published two books on U.S. foreign policy:Dangerous Capabilities, a biography of Paul Nitze, and Unwinnable Wars, a study of U.S. involvement in such ethnic conflicts as the wars in Bosnia, Rwanda, Lebanon, and Biafra. Callahan has written articles for The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Foreign Policy, The American Prospect, and The Nation. Nitze was one of the most influential cold war officials, a master who helped construct the foundations of America's policy toward Russia. Derived from a Kirkus review: This is a fine biography of Paul Nitze, the consummate Washington insider who for 40 years has helped shape American Cold War policies. From 1945 to 1990, Nitze consistently called for high expenditures for greater defense and the maintenance of technological superiority. This, Nitze claimed, also spurred national prosperity. He advised a succession of Presidents from Truman to Bush that "limited" nuclear war must always be an option. However, Nitze himself came to believe that negotiations from a position of strength would bring beneficial arms reductions with the Soviets, thus guaranteeing western security and more stability. It is this change in his thinking, Callahan points out, made Nitze one of America's foremost arms negotiators as well as one of its biggest defense advocates, with his greatest influence wielded during the Reagan years. Penetrating and, while respectful, in no way hagiographic as Callahan seriously questions whether "winning the Cold War" was worth the economic price paid, which he believes bas drained the nation of resources and, in effect, may have sold the birthright of future generations.

Notes. Index. Inscribed by the author on the title page. The inscription reads: "To Joey, With best wishes, David O. Stewart". David O. Stewart (born April 2, 1951) is an American author and attorney who writes both nonfiction historical narratives and historical fiction and lives in Potomac, Maryland. His historical works include George Washington: The Political Rise of America's Founding Father; Madison's Gift: Five Partnerships That Built America; American Emperor: Aaron Burr's Challenge to Jefferson's America; Impeached: The Trial of President Andrew Johnson and the Fight for Lincoln's Legacy; and The Summer of 1787: The Men Who Invented the Constitution. His novels include The New Land, The Lincoln Deception, The Wilson Deception, and The Babe Ruth Deception. In American Emperor: Aaron Burr's Challenge to Jefferson's America (2011), he explored another key legal battle in American history, the treason trial of former Vice President Aaron Burr for planning a private invasion of Spanish lands in North America and inviting the secession of America's Western territories. His books have won prizes from the Society of the Cincinnati, New Jersey Chapter (twice), the National Society of Colonial Dames of America (the William H. Prescott Award), and the Colonial Dames of America. He was principal defense counsel for U.S. District Judge Walter L. Nixon, Jr. of Biloxi, Mississippi, in an impeachment trial before the U. S. Senate. He has been interviewed numerous times on impeachment-related topics. About the book from the dust jacket: In this vivid and brilliant biography, David Stewart describes Aaron Burr, the third vice president, as a daring and perhaps deluded figure who shook the nation's foundations in its earliest, most vulnerable decades. In 1805, the United States was not twenty years old, an unformed infant. The government consisted of a few hundred people. The immense frontier swallowed up a tiny army of 3,300 soldiers. Following the Louisiana Purchase, no one even knew where the nation's western border lay. Secessionist sentiment flared in New England and beyond the Appalachians. Burr had challenged Jefferson, his own running mate, in the presidential election of 1800. Indicted for murder in the dueling death of Alexander Hamilton in 1804, he dreamt huge dreams. He imagined an insurrection in New Orleans, a private invasion of Spanish Mexico and Florida, and a great empire rising on the Gulf of Mexico, which would swell when America's western lands seceded from the Union. For two years, Burr pursued this audacious dream, enlisting support from the General-in-Chief of the Army, a paid agent of the Spanish king, and from other western leaders, including Andrew Jackson. When the army chief double-crossed Burr, Jefferson finally roused himself and ordered Burr prosecuted for treason. The trial featured the nation's finest lawyers before the greatest judge in our history, Chief Justice John Marshall, Jefferson's distant cousin and determined adversary. It became a contest over the nation's identity: Should individual rights be sacrificed to punish a political apostate who challenged the nation's very existence? In a revealing reversal of political philosophies, Jefferson championed government power over individual rights, while Marshall shielded the nation's most notorious defendant. By concealing evidence, appealing to the rule of law, and exploiting the weaknesses of the government's case, Burr won his freedom. Afterwards Burr left for Europe to pursue an equally outrageous scheme to liberate Spain's American colonies, but finding no European sponsor, he returned to America and lived to an unrepentant old age. Stewart's vivid account of Burr's tumultuous life offers a rare and eye-opening description of the brand-new nation struggling to define itself.
