Gary Hylander Lecture “An American Sampler: Secretaries of State”
Gary continues the series with Dean Acheson. Acheson was the first Secretary of State of the Cold War. He and President Truman presided over the emergence of the United States as the world’s first super power. The title of his autobiography “Present at Creation” speaks to this historic transformation. Working together, Truman and Dulles crafted the Marshall Plan, the Truman Doctrine and NATO.
