Eisenhower's New-Look National Security Policy, 1953-61

By Saki Dockrill

Book Overview

The New Look sought to formulate a more selective and flexible response to Communist challenges. The New Look was not simply a 'bigger bang for a buck' nor merely a device for achieving a balanced budget, nor did it amount solely to a strategy of massive retaliation, as is commonly assumed. Dr Dockrill's incisive revisionist analysis of the subject throws new light on US ambitious global strategy during the Eisenhower years.
