Self-made millionaire Bram Soames is a powerful, charismatic man who makes deals with ease and confidence. But he's a lso a man torn by guilt over his son's scandalous conception. Jay Soames uses Brian's guilt to his advantage, enjoying the power this gives him over his father.

But Bram's sexual magnetism and unexpected sensitivity make him dangerously alluring. Taylor is a woman whose past threatens her future. A woman Jay would stop at nothing to see destroyed - he'd go to any lengths, even seduction, to expose her secrets and get her out of his father's life. But revealing the truth about Taylor's past could draw them all into a game they are powerless to control.., Ontario, Canada: Mira Books, 1995, 0, Washington DC: The Brookings Institution, 1979.

Leslie Howard "Les" Gelb (March 4, 1937 - August 31, 2019) was a correspondent and columnist for The New York Times, a senior Defense and State Department official, and later the President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations. He was diplomatic correspondent at The New York Times from 1973 to 1977. He served as an Assistant Secretary of State in the Carter Administration from 1977 to 1979, serving as director of the Bureau of Politico-Military Affairs and winning the Distinguished Honor Award, the highest award of the US State Department. In 1980 he co-authored The Irony of Vietnam which won the Woodrow Wilson Foundation Book Award in 1981. From 1980-1981, he was also a Senior Associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. According to Gelb and Betts, the foreign policy failed, but the decisionmaking system worked. They attribute this paradox to the efficiency of the system in sustaining a heavy commitment based on the shared conviction of six administrations that the United States must prevent the loss of Vietnam to communism. The analysis that supports this reflects the widest use thus far of available sources, including declassified portions of negotiations documents and files in presidential libraries. The frequently quoted statement of the principals themselves contradict the view that U.S. leaders were unaware of the consequences of their decisions and deluded by expectations of easy victory. The record reveals that these leaders were both realistic and pessimistic about the chances for success in Vietnam. Whey they persisted is explained in this thorough account of their decisionmaking from 1946 to 1968, and how their mistakes might be avoided by policymakers in the future is considered in the final chapter., The Brookings Institution, 1979, 2.5<

Few analysts of U.S. involvement in Vietnam would agree with the provocative conclusion of this book. The thesis of most postmortems is that the United States lost the war because of the failure of its foreign policy decisionmaking system. According to Gelb and Betts, however, the foreign policy failed, but the decisionmaking system worked. They attribute this paradox to the efficiency of the system in sustaining an increasingly heavy commitment based on the shared conviction of six administrations that the United States must prevent the loss of Vietnam to communism. However questionable the conviction, and thus the commitment, may have been, the authors stress that the latter was made and kept for twenty-five years. That is what the systemthe shared values, the political and bureaucratic pressureswas designed to do, and it did it. The comprehensive analysis that supports this contention reflects the widest use thus fare of available sources, including recently declassified portions of negotiations documents and files in presidential libraries. The frequently quoted statement of the principals themselves contradict the commonly held view that U.S. leaders were unaware of the consequences of their decisions and deluded by false expectations of easy victory. With few exceptions, the record reveals that these leaders were both realistic and pessimistic about the chances for success in Vietnam. Whey they persisted nonetheless is explained in this thorough account of their decisionmaking from 1946 to 1968, and how their mistakes might be avoided by policymakers in the future is considered in the final chapter.
