“This is a terrific book, a distant mirror on the present.” -- Tom Friedman, three-time Pulitzer Prize winning journalist“There are at least three reasons to read Three Days at Camp David. It is a fascinating character-driven story. It provides critical historical perspective on America’s role in the world, including the constant tension between nationalism and global engagement. And it sheds light on President Biden’s challenge to restore America’s alliances just as Nixon and Kissinger did in Garten’s account of the early 1970s." -- Walter Isaacson, author of Kissinger, Steve Jobs, and Leonardo Da Vinci“Jeffrey Garten’s Three Days at Camp David is a riveting account of one of the most consequential—if often overlooked—moments in financial history. Garten gives us Richard Nixon before the disastrous fall, making the pathos of the events all the more poignant. It’s required reading for anyone eager to understand the world’s current economic challenges.” -- William D. Cohan, author of The Last Tycoons: The Secret History of Lazard Freres and House of Cards: A Tale of Hubris and Wretched Excess on Wall Street“Garten tells a tale of gold and guarantees, secrecy and surprise, and conflict and cooperation. His fast-paced history brings the characters alive, explains complexity with clarity, and reveals America’s competing impulses of leadership and retrenchment –a tension alive today.” -- Robert B. Zoellick, former president of the World Bank, former US Trade Representative, and author of America in the World: A History of U.S. Diplomacy and Foreign Policy“As a senior economic staff member working for National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger at the time, I was involved in many of the pivotal events in this book. Jeffrey Garten has told the story of how the U.S. severed the link between the dollar and gold in all its economic and foreign policy dimensions, and in all its human drama. Not only has he made a contribution to understanding this critical series of events in American history, but he has also pointed to the profound implications for America and the global economy in the years ahead.” -- Robert D. Hormats, former senior White House and State Department official in five presidential administrations, and former vice-chairman of Goldman Sachs (international)“A fascinating play-by-play account of one of the most important events in the history of the modern world economy, with powerful implications for current policy.” -- C. Fred Bergsten, founding director of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, and former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury“A gripping tale of a critical period in global finance with striking relevance to our present moment, when the global system is in transition and so many pressures exist for America to look only inward.” -- Merit E. Janow, Dean, School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University“Jeffrey Garten makes a strong case that the end of the dollar’s convertibility into gold has deep, long run implications for the United States and the global economy. He provides valuable food for thought for our own uncertain era.” -- Robert E. Rubin, Former U.S. Treasury Secretary“If you ever wanted a ringside seat to see how a world-changing decision is made in Washington, read Three Days at Camp David. It reads like a novel, yet it is a work of history, politics, and economic policy.” -- Susan C. Schwab, Professor Emerita, University of Maryland, Former U.S. Trade Representative“An enlightening study of an era when previously unthinkable economic measures suddenly went mainstream. . . . President Richard Nixon’s high-wire economic policy of monetary anarchy, tariffs, and government wage-and-price controls is dissected in this incisive history. . . . Garten vividly sketches the personalities behind the policy. . . . [His] lucid, easy-to-grasp exposition focuses on international turmoil in exchange rates and trade.” -- Publishers Weekly“Highly charged account of the Ni
