This book discusses the role of the U.S. Navy within the country's
national security structure during the first decade of the Cold War
from the perspective of the service's senior uniformed officer, the
Chief of Naval Operations, and his staff. It examines a variety of
important issues of the period, including the Army-Navy fight over
unification that led to the creation of the National Security Act
of 1947, the early postwar fighting in China between the
Nationalists and the Communists, the formation of NATO, the
outbreak of the Korean War, the decision of the Eisenhower
Administration not to intervene in the Viet Minh troops' siege of
the French garrison at Dien Bien Phu, and the initiation of the
Eisenhower "New Look" defense policy. The author relies upon
information obtained from a wide range of primary sources and
personal interviews with important, senior Navy and Army officers.
The result is a book that provides the reader with a new way of
looking at these pivotal events.
