An interesting combination of two prominent American statesmen who served as U.S. Secretary of State during different periods of the Cold War.

Fine condition.

Dean Acheson (1893–1971) was an American statesman and diplomat who served as U.S. Secretary of State under President Harry S. Truman from 1949 to 1953. A principal architect of American foreign policy during the early Cold War, he played a central role in the development of the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall Plan, and the establishment of NATO. His memoir, Present at the Creation, received the Pulitzer Prize for History in 1970.

George P. Shultz (1920–2021) was an American economist, diplomat, and statesman who served as U.S. Secretary of State under President Ronald Reagan from 1982 to 1989. He previously held three Cabinet-level positions under President Richard Nixon, serving as Secretary of Labor, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and Secretary of the Treasury. As Secretary of State, Shultz played a major role in U.S.-Soviet diplomacy, arms control negotiations, and the improvement of relations between the United States and the Soviet Union during the final years of the Cold War.
