AMERICA'S COLD WARRIOR: Paul Nitze and National Security from Roosevelt to Reagan

Traces Nitze's career path in national security after WWII, a time when many of his mentors and peers returned to civilian life. Connects his career and concerns about strategic vulnerability to the post-9/11 era and the challenges of the 2020s, where the U.S. finds itself locked in geopolitical competition with the People's Republic of China and Russia.
