The Truman administration's decision to embark on an arms build-up
in 1950 was a critical event. For the first time other than a World
War, the United States became a global military presence. Unlike
the World Wars, in this instance the deployment lasted decades,
altering the nature of the Cold War and the United States' global
role. Such a decision deserves a book dedicated to understanding
the strategy and politics behind it. The Beginnings of the Cold War
Arms Race serves that purpose. The Beginnings of the Cold War Arms
Race reviews the state of American military affairs in the late
1940s and describes the role of atomic power in American strategy.
It also outlines the factional fighting within the Truman
administration over military spending and deployments and considers
the Truman administration's perceptions of Soviet military power
and intentions. The author presents a fascinating account of the
strategy and politics behind the Truman administration's decision
to engage in a massive arms build-up that initiated the Cold War
arms race.
