Another Such Victory: President Truman and the Cold War, 1945-1953 (Stanford Nuclear Age Series)
by Arnold A. Offner
Category: History

This book is a provocative and thoroughly documented reassessment of President Truman's profound influence on U.S. foreign policy and the Cold War. The author contends that Truman remained a parochial nationalist who lacked the vision and leadership to move the United States away from conflict and toward detente. Instead, he promoted an ideology and politics of Cold War confrontation that set the pattern for successor administrations."
