Pressure. Politics. A White House insider's journey through war, diplomacy, and America's place on the world stage.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eMy Foreign Affairs\u003c\/em\u003e, John E. Rielly delivers a gripping insider's account of America's evolving role on the world stage, beginning in the crucible of the Vietnam War. As foreign policy aide to Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Rielly witnessed firsthand the high-stakes power struggle between the vice president and an unrelenting Lyndon B. Johnson--who wielded brutal pressure to force Humphrey's support for a catastrophic troop escalation. Rielly watched in dismay as a once-vocal skeptic became a reluctant cheerleader for the war, a transformation that may have cost him the presidency in 1968. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the shadowy corridors of the White House to the international halls of diplomacy, Rielly went on to lead the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, where he spent decades in conversation with some of the most influential leaders of our time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eMy Foreign Affairs\u003c\/em\u003e is both a candid political memoir and a masterful reflection on U.S. foreign policy--from the Kennedy years to the post-Cold War era. Combining vivid personal encounters with sharp analysis, Rielly offers a rare glimpse into how world-shaping decisions are made--and the personal toll they exact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little Creek Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781955656948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"John Rielly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51334148358325,"sku":"9781955656948","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0aa61188-078e-46fb-b6b4-edba45ee7eed.jpg?v=1752583931","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/my-foreign-affairs-from-hubert-humphreys-vietnam-to-americas-role-on-the-world-stage-9781955656948","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
