Between 1945 and 1947, the United States sought an imperial
solution to its security problems in the Pacific Basin. Faced with
fears of a future Pearl Harbor-style attack by a potentially
resurgent Japan, and facing an even more realistic confrontation
with the Soviet Union, American policymakers, planners, and
strategic analysts saw the creation of an "American lake" in the
postwar Pacific as the best means by which to guarantee U.S.
security interests with regard to East Asia.Because of policy
differences among the executive branch departments that had
responsibilities in the area, the vision proved difficult to
achieve.
Hal M. Friedman analyzes the major issues concerning the Pacific
Basin that confronted the four departments between 1945 and 1947.
Helping to fill a regional gap in Cold War historiography, Arguing
over the American Lake will be of great interest to military and
political historians, those interested in strategic studies, and
students and scholars of foreign relations policy and history.
