Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Secretary of State is in charge of defining and implementing U.S. foreign policy. While that role has weakened some over the past 50 years, a mere roll call of illustrious past Secretaries of State invokes the position's importance. Thomas Jefferson, Henry Kissinger, John Quincy Adams, William Jennings Bryan, Henry Clay, James Madison, George C. Marshall, George Schultz, and Daniel Webster are just a few of the Secretaries profiled within these 65 entries. Arranged A-to-Z, each essay is multifaceted, offering information personal, professional, and political. The majority of each piece deals with foreign policy ideas before he or she became the Secretary, what American foreign policy was like while in office, and the major foreign policy issues during tenure. Each piece concludes with a concise and useful bibliography. A unique look at U.S. foreign policy making and diplomacy through the experience of the person whose job is to craft and implement it. Each secretary's early life and background are included, as is his or her education and influences. Careers before becoming Secretary of State are detailed, as are expressions of ideas relating to U.S. foreign policy prior to appointment. Then the piece examines his tenure in office itself, from appointment as secretary, to relations with the President, Cabinet and Congress. Most importantly the major foreign policy issues of the day are given a thorough going over. Finally the circumstances of leaving office, a post-career summary, and then a general assessment of his or accomplishments and shortcomings as secretary.

Download or read book John Jay written by Walter Stahr and published by Diversion Publishing Corp.. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times–bestselling author of Seward and Stanton comes the definitive biography of John Jay: “Wonderful” (Walter Isaacson, New York Times–bestselling author of Leonardo da Vinci). John Jay is central to the early history of the American Republic. Drawing on substantial new material, renowned biographer Walter Stahr has written a full and highly readable portrait of both the public and private man—one of the most prominent figures of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. “The greatest founders—such as Washington and Jefferson—have kept even the greatest of the second tier of the nation’s founding generation in the shadows. But now John Jay, arguably the most important of this second group, has found an admiring, skilled student in Stahr . . . Since the last biography of Jay appeared 60 years ago, a mountain of new knowledge about the early nation has piled up, and Stahr uses it all with confidence and critical detachment. Jay had a remarkable career. He was president of the Continental Congress, secretary of foreign affairs, a negotiator of the treaty that won the United States its independence in 1783, one of three authors of The Federalist Papers, first chief justice of the Supreme Court and governor of his native New York . . . [Stahr] places Jay once again in the company of America’s greatest statesmen, where he unquestionably belongs.” —Publishers Weekly “Even-handed . . . Riveting on the matter of negotiating tactics, as practiced by Adams, Jay and Franklin.” —The Economist “Stahr has not only given us a meticulous study of the life of John Jay, but one very much in the spirit of the man . . . Thorough, fair, consistently intelligent, and presented with the most scrupulous accuracy. Let us hope that this book helps to retrieve Jay from the relative obscurity to which he has been unfairly consigned.” —Ron Chernow, author of Alexander Hamilton

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Jay IN preparing this new edition of the American Statesmen series, it has not been found necessary to make any alteration in the life of Jay. Since the book was written, the author, Mr. Pellew, has unfortunately died. But he had performed his work so thoroughly that it is not likely that, if he had lived, he would have desired to amend it in any particular. The upright character and open career of Jay left no opportunity for posterity to make discovery of unsuspected schemes or intrigues, ambitions or failures, such as often give rise to sur prise and discussion in the cases of many men in public life. From the beginning to the end, all which he did lay open to inspection in broad day light. His biographers find nothing to explain, nothing to dispute over, nothing to place in new lights. The only matter of debate concerns the famous treaty which he negotiated with England. Whether this was as favorable as it should have been for the United States was a question disputed between the two political parties at the time, and which has continued to cause some disagreement between historical writers since then.

Not illustrated. 1890 edition. Excerpt: ... NEGOTIATOR OF PEACE: THE ATTITUDE OP FRANCE IN 1782. The instructions to the American commissioners, appointed to treat with Great Britain, were based on the theory that, without the active cooperation of the French court, the States would be at the mercy of England, that France was engaged to procure them the best terms obtainable, and that gratitude and policy alike necessitated absolute confidence in the Count de Vergennes, French minister for foreign affairs. For the successful conduct of the negotiations it was essential for the commissioners to determine whether this theory of Congress was correct. The facts now known show us that it was incorrect. France, by her treaty with Spain, had formed obligations inconsistent with the interests of the States. By it the object of the war had been changed from securing independence for America to winning Gibraltar for Spain, from that which was already within the grasp of the allies to that which was, in any case, a remote contingency, and was, as it happened, an impossibility; and all this had been brought about without the knowledge of the country most vitally interested in the war, the one country whose existence as a nation was at stake. The treaty was very possibly unavoidable, as is urged by the latest, best informed, and most voluminous apologist of France, M. Doniol.1 But whether such was the case or not is immaterial from the American point of view; so long as the facts were withheld from Congress the conduct of Vergennes was disingenuous, and the American ministers, so far as they suspected or knew the facts, were no longer justified in intrusting to him the fortunes of their country. It was, however, not merely regard for the prejudices, or even the "gigantic pretensions" of Spain...
