As I Saw It

Dean Rusk. Penguin Books, $14.95 (672pp) ISBN 978-0-14-015391-0

In this volume, transcribed from tapes he made for his son, Rusk reminisces about his family, his WW II military service and his various government posts and offers his opinions on education and the Vietnam era. PW called this ``engrossing, enlightening. . . . An unreconstructed hawk, Rusk is blunt about what he considers the correctness of U.S. intervention in Southeast Asia.'' Photos. (Aug.)
