Riassunto

In the first comprehensive study of Johnson’s policy toward Europe—the most important theater of the Cold War—Schwartz shows a president who guided the United States with a policy that balanced the solidarity of the Western alliance with the need to stabilize the Cold War and reduce the nuclear danger.
