From the changes wrought and suggested by President Mikhail Gorbachev in the Soviet Union, to progress in arms control and peace agreements among warring nations, to Western Europe's increasing economic unity, the world is changing before our eyes. A "window of opportunity" for the better fulfillment of U.S. national and international goals is gradually opening. How prepared is the United States to face this rapidly transforming world? Are the policies of the postwar 1940s adequate for the 1990s, or do we need to set for ourselves new international objectives and new strategies to carry them out? Is a new U.S. international agenda in order? Are our federal government, especially our foreign service and our military establishment, our private sector and our educational systemógeared to meet the requirements of the coming decade? This, the 16th volume in the Miller Center's Rhetoric and Reality series, explores these questions and more dealing with questions of international policy. Co-published with the Miller Center of Public Affairs.

I Did It This Way is a quintessentially American story that illuminates a life of our times. George C. McGhee, an author, engineer, diplomat, industrialist and philanthropist chronicles his twenty-two years of distinguished service in the State Department in this richly detailed, engagingly eloquent memoir. 
He was already a promising young geologist when he was awarded the Rhodes Scholarship, and his experiences in Great Britain on the eve of the Second World War opened for him undreamed of vistas far beyond the bounds of his provincial Texas upbringing. It was then that he became determined to pursue a career in the field of international diplomacy, and his subsequent personal success in the oil industry provided him with the financial wherewithal to achieve his aspirations in the arena of public service. 
Taking us through his travels to Greece, Turkey, the Middle East, South Asia, Africa and Germany, he provides rare insights into the subtle art of diplomacy, the delicate process of forging policy and conducting sensitive negotiations that ultimately determines the course of world events. 
Not only a fascinating autobiography, I Did It This Way offers a unique perspective on the history of the Twentieth Century and a provocative discussion of the pivotal role the United States must continue to play in the newly emergent global community.
