355 pages; Very Good Plus condition. First Princeton Press Paperback Edition. Very light hinge crease. No spine creases. Name to half-title page. Just a bit of rub and soft bump to edges. Solid, clean. Henry Kissinger is quoted, August 1970: The nightmare of the modern state is the hugeness of the bureaucracy, and the problem is how to get coherence and design in it. Any book on a current subject begins to age as soon as the author hands his manuscript to the publisher. In particular this book was completed too soon to take account of either the Nixon foreign policy achievements of 1972 or the Watergate revelations of 1973. For thiis reason, I decided to add a short epilogue, one aimed not so much at updating the facts as dealing with some of the larger issues raised by the events of the past two years.
