France, and so long as I hold that office, it is for me to interpret French opinion." Now Dulles was alarming U.S. allies in Asia (Syngman Rhee and Chiang Kai-shek), and risking the displeasure of many Americans (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS), in agreeing to talk about Indo-China...

Even his detractors admit he was outstandingly successful. During World War II he ran a training school for political officers in Chungking.
