Offers a demonstration of how historical analysis can be brought to bear on the study of strategic issues, and, conversely, how strategic thinking can help drive historical research. This book begins with an overview of strategic thought in America from 1952 through 1966 and ends with a discussion of 'making sense' of the nuclear age.
