Abstract

For the forty years of the Cold War, U.S. foreign and defense policy was guided by a central theme, a well-defined strategic objective. That goal was for the United States to lead in building a liberal economic and political world while defending that world against totalitarian communist attack. The single word best defining that policy was "containment."
