Summary: "In Maxwell Taylor's Cold War, author Ingo Trauschweizer will trace the Cold War 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 seeks to describe and analyze this polarizing figure in American history. He addresses civil-military relations; the role of individual actors in the national security establishment; the changing nature of war; and the balance of nuclear, conventional, and counterinsurgency strategies in the Cold War. He also aims to yield a new perspective on policy history that combines military, strategic, institutional, intellectual, and international and diplomatic history"-- Provided by publisher
