"Now, after six years in the Reagan administration, the most successful, the youngest, and the most controversial navy secretary in U.S. history, John F. Lehman, Jr., here writes his personal story - about his life (while he was still in his twenties) at the National Security Council with Henry Kissinger, his career at the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, his war experiences as a pilot in Vietnam, all preludes to the heart of his book, about his tumultuous career in the Reagan administration."--Book Jacket.
