During Senator Henry M. Jackson's forty-two years in service in Congress, an extraordinary range of issues engaged his attention: U.S. Soviet relations, arms control, human rights, NATO, U.S. Israeli relations, Central America, China, and the foreign and security policy-making mechanisms of the U.S. government. This volume places in perspective Senator Jackson's major speeches on foreign policy and national security as a component of his efforts to help ensure the safety of the nation and the future of freedom during the post World War II decades. The speeches present Jackson's position as he himself defined it and illustrate his leading part in shaping American policy in the long and dangerous cold war period.
