From the supplier: Reinhold Niebuhr's book 'Moral Man and Immoral Society: A Study in Ethics and Politics' illustrates the dilemma faced by foreign policy-makers. They are bound by their convictions and moral views to take certain courses of action but are constrained by national interest goals to implement such actions. Moreover, Niebuhr's book stresses the dichotomy of personal conviction and public commitments.
