Wynns Coonawarra Estate is a famed winery in the township of Coonawarra South Australia. Coonawarra is region that has a singular story based on a unique cigar-shaped strip of terra rossa soil over limestone. Established as a 'fruit colony' in the 1880s the region provided grapes for many of the great wines of the early 20th century. After a long period of significant decline the region became known for quality wine again after David Wynn established Wynns Coonawarra Estate in 1951. Through the second half of the 20th century Coonawarra and particularly Coonawarra Cabernet was one of the most sought after wines and wine regions in Australia. Older vintages of Wynns 'Black Label' and 'Red Stripe' hold a special place in Australian wine lovers' cellars and hearts. Over the years David Wynn engaged a number of artists and writers such as Tate Adams and Walter James to record and celebrate the Coonawarra region and Wynns Coonawarra Estate. An excellent copy and a significant work in the canon of Australian wine literature and art. § OCLC only records 5 copies outside of Australia; 4 in the USA Sonoma UCLA Penn State and Carleton § Gabler G7040.

We see Boston Mayor later Governor and Secretary of Labor Maurice Tobin. We see a sensitively drawn portrait of . Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson who was Cutler's first boss in Washington. There are revealing glimpses of General George C. Marshall. and there is a vivid picture of James V. Forrestal. Through his friendship with Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Cutler was drawn into the inner circle supporting the candidacy of Dwight D. Eisenhower. Riding aboard Ike's 1952 campaign train as it crisscrossed the country Cutler worked day and night on speeches and saw at first hand Eisenhower's harsh ordeal in politics at the hand of men like Jenner of Indiana and McCarthy of Wisconsin. This book is much more than a public portrait.

General Cutler has an unusual story to tell and he tells it well." Jacket has edgewear some rubbing discoloration or soil and foxing notably on front on folds and on the reverse.
