About This Item
University of Georgia Press, November 1998. First Edition. Hardcover. Signed Very Good/Very Good. Signed and inscribed by Author. 1st Edition / 1st Printing - No marks or writing observed in text. Binding tight and square. DJ is VG. Gently read. . . . . . . . As a high-ranking American diplomat during the Cold War, Martin J. Hillenbrand was witness to some of the most exciting moments in twentieth-century history. Fragments of Our Time is a richly detailed, gracefully written account of a career that spanned seven presidencies and more than half a century. After stints in Africa and Asia, the bulk of Hillenbrand's career was spent in Europe. He recounts with authority his experiences in postwar Germany, his involvement with the Cuban missile crisis, his appointment as the first American ambassador to Hungary, and his posts as assistant secretary of state for European affairs and ambassador to Germany. Hillenbrand writes with a keen wit and discerning eye of the people and events that shaped contemporary American foreign policy. Family-owned bookshop in Steubenville, Ohio: BookMarx Bookstore.
