Description:
The Cold War inspired and influenced the growth and evolution of the Secretary of Defense's role in foreign affairs. This study emphasizes the Secretary's role in the policy process -- the interaction of individuals and institutions -- and how the position evolved between 1947 and the early 1990s with the collapse of the Soviet Union.
