An Analysis of the Influence of General Curtis E. Lemay on United States National Security Policy

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

General Curtis E. LeMay help positions of responsibility during a critical period in the United States history. Many of the achievements of the United States Air Force, during the post World War II years, are directly attributed to the leadership, foresight, and dedication of Curtis E. LeMay. This study is concerned with the influence of General LeMay on national security policy. It attempts to answer important questions on security matters in which General LeMay had some impact and tries to determine the extent that he was able to influence these matters. While national security policy is a broad subject and includes contributions from many related fields (i.e., political science, economics, geography), this study concentrates on the military aspects of national security policy.
