Excellent book on Truman's presidency and national defense priorities. Among topics of interest to us include a good discussion of inter-service mission and budget rivalries during this period as well as the disagreements surrounding Universal Military Training proposals that were considered by Congress during this period. Also examines the reorganization of the Defense Department, looks at personalities of the men involved and the disagreements that arose between agencies and individuals. Emphasizes how budgetary costs drove though processes of everyone - the presient, Congress, and the services themselves. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
In A Cross of Iron, one of the country's most distinguished diplomatic historians provides a comprehensive account of the national security state that emerged in the first decade of the Cold War. Michael J. Hogan traces the process of state-making as it unfolded in struggles to unify the armed forces, harness science to military purposes, mobilize military manpower, control the defense budget, and distribute the cost of defense across the economy. At stake, Hogan argues, was a fundamental contest over the nation's political identity and postwar purpose. President Harry S. Truman and his successor were in the middle of this contest. According to Hogan, they tried to reconcile an older set of values with the new ideology of national security and the country's democratic traditions with its global obligations. Their efforts determined the size and shape of the national security state that finally emerged. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
