Containment - Another Perspective, the Revisionist View.

Abstract

This paper addresses the claim that American foreign policy since Truman has assumed an overly aggressive nature, supported by a U.S. military force structure needed to back such an aggressive policy. The validity of this perspective, how such a militarized version of foreign policy could occur, and the outcome of this approach are subjects discussed.
