--Keith Stewart Thomson, The Common But Less Frequent Loon and Other Essays

--Nicholas Delbanco, The Lost Suitcase: Reflections on the Literary Life
He had been particularly involved in and articulate over policy toward East Asia, stressing the threat from China after the Communists won power there in 1949, and had made dramatic impressions of competence and coolness on two occasions--under the physical threat of a crowd in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1958, and in a dramatic kitchen debate in the Soviet Union in 1959 with the redoubtable Nikita Khrushchev.
--William Bundy, A Tangled Web: The Making of Foreign Policy in the Nixon Presidency
Redoubtable derives from Old French redouter, "to dread," from Medieval Latin redubitare, "to fear," literally "to doubt back at," from Latin re- + dubitare, "to doubt."
