The NESC studied the gravest potential failure of American strategy in the 1950s and '60s: a surprise Soviet nuclear attack. Its annual reports and specialized studies quantified the risks that Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy faced in a decade rife with crises, from Berlin to Cuba. The detailed work of the NESC, whose very existence was secret until the mid-1980s, has only been available to researchers in any detail since 2014. Kaplan's is the first study of the NESC as a body, documenting its value to Cold War history and strategy"-- |cProvided by publisher. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web 588 Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher. 610 20 National Security Council (U.S.). |bNet Evaluation Subcommittee |xHistory. |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 0 Nuclear warfare |xRisk assessment |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. |=^A7167 650 0 Nuclear weapons |xGovernment policy |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. |=^A1006116 650 0 National security |zUnited States |xEvaluation |xHistory |y20th century. |=^A273467 650 0 Strategic culture |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. |=^A788326 650 0 Strategy |xHistory |y20th century. |=^A144827 650 0 Military planning |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. |=^A1057653 650 0 Cold War. |=^A235197 651 0 United States |xMilitary policy |y20th century. |=^A16012 651 0 United States |xForeign relations |zSoviet Union. |=^A42375 651 0 Soviet Union |xForeign relations |zUnited States. |=^A42376 655 0 Electronic books. |=^A491897 776 08 |iPrint version:Kaplan, Edward A. |tEnd of victory |dIthaca : Cornell University Press, [2022] |z9781501766121 |w(DLC) 2022005374 856 40 |zFull text available from Ebook Central - Academic Complete |uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/eastcarolina/detail.action?docID=6823179 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJOYNER188 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hHSL77 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJMUSIC60 596 1 3 4 998 6354759
