Quotation from The Gentle Nudge: The Canadian Department of External Affairs and the North Atlantic Treaty, 1948–1949 by Michael W. Manulak:
Wrong was the “the most incisive of the senior officials” in his thinking and the “crispest” in his writing. He was long described by
Norman Robertson as “the most able man in the service.” Wrong was considered “brilliant” although “somewhat on the assertive side”. This assertive side could border on impatience or waspishness. In diplomacy, Wrong was of a very practical and organized nature, seeking clear Canadian interests with fewer abstract notions or moral preoccupations. Wrong was extremely well-connected with the State Department and highly respected. Hickerson described him as “one of my best friends.” Wrong was also a close personal friend of
Dean Acheson (US Secretary of State from January 1949) in a relationship that dated back to their childhood.
