Opis

In late 1945, American military planners began to develop strategies to deal with the frightening possibility of a war with the Soviet Union when it becaeme clear that the Soviet Union was an aggressive power that sought to exercise its power. This work examines those plans and describes both how the Soviet military threat was perceived and how the American Joint Chiefs of Staff intended to defeat the Russians. This account provides a view of what might have happened had the two superpowers attempted to settle their differences by force.
