John F. Kennedy And The Missile Gap by Christopher A. Preble
How the Arms Race Began—and Ended
This insightful analysis delves into the Cold War era, focusing on the perceived "missile gap" between the United States and the Soviet Union during the late 1950s and early 1960s. It examines how political rhetoric and intelligence assessments fueled public fear and influenced U.S. defense policy, despite evidence suggesting the gap was largely exaggerated. The narrative explores the role of key figures, including the President, in navigating the complex interplay of military strategy, political ambition, and public perception, ultimately shaping the trajectory of American foreign policy during a critical period in history.
