Memoir ISBN: 0394569954 Counsel to the President: A Memoir
Former Secretary of Defense Clifford described in his book his
rise from an attorney to a close adviser to Presidents Truman,
Johnson, and Kennedy. He shared his insights into many of the
domestic and foreign policy decisions since World War II and the
people who made these decisions. Mr. Clifford discussed his
close ties to President Truman after World War II and the
attitude of the President as the Cold War began in the early
1950s. Many of Mr. Clifford's comments were directed at the
changes in the world he experienced during his own lifetime,
including the creation of the nation of Israel during President
Truman's administration. He also explained his current personal
crisis surrounding the investigation of illicit actions with a
foreign bank for which he recently worked. "I hope that the book
will inculcate in the minds of younger people a desire to
someday take part in our government," s
