Description

A Cross of Iron: Harry S. Truman and the Origins of the National Security State, 1945-1954 offers a detailed account of the national security state's emergence during the first decade of the Cold War. Published by Cambridge University Press, this work by distinguished diplomatic historian Michael J. Hogan examines the process of state-making as it unfolded through various historical struggles. Hogan traces how the United States worked to unify the armed forces, harness science for military use, and mobilize military manpower. The text also explores the efforts to control the defense budget and distribute defense costs across the economy. This book provides a deep look into the fundamental contest over the nation's political identity and postwar purpose during the Truman administration.
