A widely recognized \"hawk,\" Bunker helped shape U.S. policy in Vietnam during his six-year Saigon posting. Using letters Bunker wrote to his wife as well as recently declassified messages he exchanged with Henry Kissinger, Schaffer examines how Bunker promoted the war effort and how he regarded his mission. After leaving Saigon on his seventy-ninth birthday, Bunker next became a key figure in the treaty negotiations, spanning three presidencies, that radically changed the operation and defense of the Panama Canal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHighlighting Bunker's views on the craft of diplomacy, Schaffer paints a complex picture of a man who devoted three decades to international affairs and sheds new light on post-World War II American diplomacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is part of the ADST-DACOR Diplomats and Diplomacy Series, co-sponsored by the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training in Arlington, Virginia, and Diplomatic \u0026amp; Consular Officers, Retired, Inc., of Washington, D.C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Univ of North Carolina Pr","offers":[{"title":"Ellsworth Bunker: Global Troubleshooter, Vietnam Hawk | Howard B Schaffer | Hardcover | 9780807828250 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks A 1776078","offer_id":49725539811480,"sku":"1776078","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71fW20RfYkL.jpg?v=1787331874","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/ellsworth-bunker-global-troubleshooter-vietnam-hawk","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
