Books by Daniel Patrick Moynihan

An account of the development of secrecy as a mode of regulation in American governance since World War I - how it was born, how world events shaped it, how it has adversely affected momentous political decisions and events, and how it has eluded efforts to curtail or end it.

Our founding fathers had a firm grasp on the importance and centrality of international law, Daniel Patrick Moynihan writes; later presidents affirmed it and tried to establish international institutions based on such high principles, but we lost our way in the fog of the Cold War.

Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan offers a wide-ranging meditation on the nation's social strategies for the last sixty years, as well as a vision for the years to come.
