In the Nation’s Service: The Life and Times of George P. Shultz

The definitive biography of George Pratt Shultz, a distinguished public servant who played a pivotal role in steering the great powers toward the end of the Cold War.

This book offers an exclusive inside account of the behind-the-scenes struggles of the statesman who altered the arc of history through his quiet, effective leadership.

With access to Shultz's personal papers, housed in a sealed archive at the Hoover Institution, In the Nation's Service provides a remarkable insider account of how Shultz's gift for forging relationships and harnessing rapport addressed national and international challenges.

Despite his difficulty standing up for his principles, Shultz's legacy and the lessons of his career have even greater meaning now that the Shultz brand of conservatism has been almost erased in the modern Republican Party.

This book restores Shultz to his central place in American history and offers a remarkable insider account of the behind-the-scenes struggles of a true statesman.
