The Wise Men" is a fascinating group portrait of six influential friends - Averell Harriman, Dean Acheson, George Kennan, Robert Lovett, John McCloy, and Charles Bohlen - who shaped the course of American foreign policy during the Cold War era. Drawing on extensive interviews and archival research, Walter Isaacson and Evan Thomas reveal the complex relationships, shared values, and intellectual curiosity that bound these men together, and explores their roles in shaping major events, from the Truman Doctrine to the Cuban Missile Crisis. This classic work of narrative history offers a compelling and insightful look at the lives and legacies of these remarkable statesmen.
