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 606 $aMilitary readiness$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aArms race$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCold War 607 $aUnited States$xMilitary policy 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1945-1953 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMilitary readiness$xHistory 615 0$aArms race$xHistory 615 0$aCold War. 676 $a355 676 $a355/.033573/09044 700 $aOjserkis$b Raymond P.$f1969-$0940792 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451877503321 996 $aBeginnings of the Cold War arms race$92121544 997 $aUNINA
