General Maxwell Taylor served at the nerve centers of US military
policy and Cold War strategy and experienced firsthand the wars in
Korea and Vietnam, as well as crises in Berlin and Cuba. Along the
way he became an adversary of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's
nuclear deterrence strategy and a champion of President John F.
Kennedy's shift toward Flexible Response. Taylor also remained a
public critic of defense policy and civil-military relations into
the 1980s and was one of the most influential American soldiers,
strategists, and diplomats. However, many historians describe him
as a politicized, dishonest manipulator whose actions deeply
affected the national security establishment and had lasting
effects on civil-military relations in the United States. In
Maxwell Taylor's Cold War: From Berlin to Vietnam, author Ingo
Trauschweizer traces the career of General Taylor, a Kennedy White
House insider and architect of American strategy in Vietnam.
Working with newly accessible and rarely used primary sources,
including the Taylor Papers and government records from the Cold
War crisis, Trauschweizer describes and analyzes this polarizing
figure in American history. The major themes of Taylor's career,
how to prepare the armed forces for global threats and localized
conflicts and how to devise sound strategy and policy for a full
spectrum of threats, remain timely and the concerns he raised about
the nature of the national security apparatus have not been
resolved.
