>In this trenchant analysis, historian Bruce Kuklick examines the role of 
>intellectuals in foreign policymaking. He recounts the history of the 
>development of ideas about strategy and foreign policy during a critical 
>period in American history: the era of the nuclear standoff between the 
>United States and the Soviet Union. The book looks at how the country's 
>foremost thinkers advanced their ideas during this time of United States 
>expansionism, a period that culminated in the Vietnam War and détente with 
>the Soviets.
>
>"Blind Oracles... brilliantly combines in concise yet penetrating fashion 
>analysis and reflection on a range of intellectuals.... [I]t provides a 
>fascinating study
>   of the role of ideas and intellectuals, the methodological approaches 
>and interpretive frameworks associated with realism, liberalism and so 
>forth that are not only seen as abstract formulae but provide a 
>demonstration of how these ideas are injected into policy and used by the 
>policy-makers on the central issues of war from the origins of the Cold 
>War, through Cuba and on to Vietnam."--David Ryan, International Affairs
