520    The most solemn obligation of any president is to 
       safeguard the nation's security--but the president cannot 
       do this alone. He needs help. In the past half century, 
       presidents have relied on their national security advisers
       to provide that help. Who are these people, the powerful 
       officials who operate out of public view and accountable 
       only to the presidents who put them there? Some remain 
       obscure even to this day, but quite a number have names 
       that resonate far beyond the foreign policy élite: 
       McGeorge Bundy, Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, 
       Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice. Daalder and Destler 
       provide the first inside look at how presidents from John 
       F. Kennedy to George W. Bush have used their national 
       security advisers to manage America's engagements with the
       outside world.--From publisher description.
