- Summary:
- This work was designed to establish a sense of history and perspective for the study and teaching of national security. It is also intended to bring a sense of balance to current debates on national security policy by presenting selected official U.S. documents covering the past 30 years, a careful reading of which not only provides valuable insights into the policy process but also into the meaning of American values. The documents examined cover the national security establishment, new defense policies such as counterinsurgency, the events of the Vietnam War and its aftermath, nuclear strategy, the Reagan "reassertion, " and congressional constraints on the executive branch of government.
