Description: Strategies Of Containment : A Critical Appraisal of American National Security Policy during the Cold War, Paperback by Gaddis, John Lewis, ISBN 019517447X, ISBN-13 9780195174472, Brand New, Free shipping in the US When Strategies of Containment was first published, the Soviet Union was still a superpower, Ronald Reagan was president of the United States, and the Berlin Wall was still standing. This updated edition of Gaddis classic carries the history of containment through the end of the Cold War.
Beginning with Franklin D. Roosevelts postwar plans, Gaddis provides a thorough critical analysis of George F. Kennans original strategy of containment, NSC-68, The Eisenhower-Dulles "New Look," the Kennedy-Johnson "flexible response" strategy, the Nixon-Kissinger strategy of detente, and now a
comprehensive assessment of how Reagan - and Gorbechev - completed the process of containment, thereby bringing the Cold War to an end.
He concludes, provocatively, that Reagan more effectively than any other Cold War president drew upon the strengths of both approaches while avoiding their weaknesses. A must-read for anyone interested in Cold War history, grand strategy, and the origins of the post-Cold War world.
