Beskrivning
These essays deal with some major subjects in American diplomacy since the war, including Truman's foreign policy, George F. Kennan and America's 'containment' policy, the Point Four Program and the developing world, the Eisenhower Doctrine and the Middle East, the Vietnam war, the CIA and Congressional Oversight of Intelligence, among others. Paterson takes the view that the US became locked in early on to a view of foreign policy based on combating the Communist menace, and so foreign policy was distorted by this overwhelming consideration.

Recensioner i media

`Paterson traces United States alarmism to the 1930s when Hitler's rise convinced many influential Americans that all totalitarian states, including Stalin's Russia, were menaces to world peace ... Paterson also argues convincingly that unregenerate cold warriors such as President Truman, Dean Acheson and John Foster Dulles were not the only culprits.' New York Times Book Review
