ALEXANDER HAIG

摘要

Before He Was A Warrior-Statesman, Al Haig Was A warrior-monk. The White House is not known for its spacious offices; as my deputy on national security, sequestered in his tiny, cell-like space, Al worked indef atigably, in a way ferociously-as if he could vindicate by his intensity his comrades left behind on the battlefield and the people they were defending. He had a distinguished record in Vietnam, but he was also aware of the political context in which military action must take place. And so in the various positions that he held-National Security Adviser, NATO commander, Secretary of State under Ronald Reagan-he was very conscious of relating American power to American purposes.
