Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of Cold War politics explores the attitudes of William Stuart Symington, a consummate Cold Warrior and Democratic senator from Missouri. The book focuses on his transition from being an avid supporter of the military and the CIA to his dovish position on the Vietnam War, as he questioned all foreign commitments, as well as military and CIA budgets. His ideas influenced presidential administrations ranging from Truman's to Nixon's. He exposed covert activity associated with the Vietnam War and worked to restore the constitutional balance between the executive and legislative branches of the government. Symington held several appointive positions within the Truman administration where he was instrumental in the unification of the armed services: he served as the first Secretary of the Air Force, a post responsible for the conduct of the Berlin Blockade. As a senator, he was a strong voice for the military, and he openly criticized President Eisenhower for his defense policies and meager budgets. A vociferous advocate of the big bomber and ICBMs, he helped establish the missile gap myth, providing the Democratic Party with a key issue in the 1960 presidential race. This well-documented study highlights the importance of and the interplay among significant personalities, circumstances, and public policy at a key point in our nation's history.

Watson vividly describes the influence of several Air Secretaries: Robert A. Lovett, W. Stuart Symington, Harold E. Talbott, and Eugene M Zuckert.

Book excerpt: If you have ever wondered whether this life is not all that it's cracked up to be, take heart. This book is designed to tease your curiosity a little further in this regard. Finding a greater sense of purpose and contentment in this life is crucial in being able to look back with infinitely more satisfaction, and far fewer regrets. In hindsight, there is much that our schools and universities did not teach us that would have been good to know. So, the overarching goal of this book is to offer the reader some insights into this 'hidden curriculum' of life - the stuff we have to find out for ourselves from the School of Hard Knocks. As we climb the ladder of life, we may encounter some loose rungs or even one or two missing ones. At times we may even feel that our ladder is leaning up against the wrong wall. Safely navigating our way up life's ladder is both an art and a science. The chapters that follow are written with 'the big decisions' in mind - decisions that, made wisely, can change the trajectory of our lives for the better, forever. If you're looking for a book that cuts to the chase on what matters in this life, this is it. In a no-holds barred, down-to-earth approach, author Stuart Symington lays out his formula for a life worth living. Some of the rungs on Stuart's ladder of life include: Breaking the mould of your upbringing, despite the best efforts and intentions of those who raised you. Disengaging from life on 'autopilot', and switching to 'manual' to take charge of your destiny. Seeking a balance among the six most important areas of your life: health, wealth, family, friends, livelihood and spirituality. Getting to know yourself really well so that you can become your own best friend, and the best version of who you can be. Seeing the bigger picture in life, and tackling - with a sense of urgency and zest - the opportunities that present themselves. Taking a leaf out of the books of those wise souls who made a mega-difference while walking this planet.

Download or read book From Cold War Warrior to Realpolitik Statesman written by Linda McFarland and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 1136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Stuart Symington IV (1901-1988) was a product of Twentieth Century America. His career was a reflection of this country's triumphs and fears, especially the post-World War II obsession with the Soviet Union. Once a vehement Cold Warrior, by the mid-1960's he had come to realize that international relations had to be understood as more than a struggle between the two superpowers, that the United States must establish national priorities in foreign commitments. Stuart Symington's Cold War credentials were impeccable. He first became involved with the federal government through war contracts while he was chief executive officer at Emerson Electric Company in St. Louis, Missouri. He left Emerson to serve President Harry S. Truman in a number of appointive positions. Chapters Two, Three, and Four discuss his service under Truman from 1945 until 1952, first as head of the Surplus Property Administration, Assistant Secretary of War for Air, the first Secretary of the Air Force, then as chairman of the National Security Resources Board and chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. In 1952 he decided to make his bid for the United States Senate. Chapters V and VI describe Symington's relationship with the Eisenhower Administration, where he emerged as a persistent critic, especially over the lack of military spending. Chapter VII examines his bid for the presidency in 1960. Chapters VIII and IX explore his views on the wars in Indochina and his relationship with Presidents Lyndon Baines Johnson and Richard M. Nixon. Chapter X analyzes his changing attitudes toward the Executive Branch, legislative responsibilities, and the Central Intelligence Agency. In the end the one time Cold Warrior had become a realpolitik statesman.

As rural civilians of all political stripes found themselves living in the Soviet crosshairs, a proud Plains individualism gave way to an economic dependence on the military-industrial complex that still persists today.

Book excerpt: The definitive biography of the most dangerous demagogue in American history, based on first-ever review of his personal and professional papers, medical and military records, and recently unsealed transcripts of his closed-door Congressional hearings In the long history of American demagogues, from Huey Long to Donald Trump, never has one man caused so much damage in such a short time as Senator Joseph McCarthy. We still use "McCarthyism" to stand for outrageous charges of guilt by association, a weapon of polarizing slander. From 1950 to 1954, McCarthy destroyed many careers and even entire lives, whipping the nation into a frenzy of paranoia, accusation, loyalty oaths, and terror. When the public finally turned on him, he came crashing down, dying of alcoholism in 1957. Only now, through bestselling author Larry Tye's exclusive look at the senator's records, can the full story be told. Demagogue is a masterful portrait of a human being capable of immense evil, yet beguiling charm. McCarthy was a tireless worker and a genuine war hero. His ambitions knew few limits. Neither did his socializing, his drinking, nor his gambling. When he finally made it to the Senate, he flailed around in search of an agenda and angered many with his sharp elbows and lack of integrity. Finally, after three years, he hit upon anti-communism. By recklessly charging treason against everyone from George Marshall to much of the State Department, he became the most influential and controversial man in America. His chaotic, meteoric rise is a gripping and terrifying object lesson for us all. Yet his equally sudden fall from fame offers reason for hope that, given the rope, most American demagogues eventually hang themselves.
