John foster dulles, the dominant figure in foreign policy in the 1950s came up with the idea and critics called it brinkmanship.  This was the idea that you could go to the verge of war and cause the other side to back down without having a war, and its a work of art. This is a chance for peace.

According to the idea of brinkmanship, a nation can prevent war by <u>threatening massive retaliation against any hostile act by an enemy nation.</u>


<u>Context/detail:</u>

John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State under President Eisenhower.  He held the office from 1953 to 1959.  He wanted a change from what had been the "containment policy" which the US had followed during the Truman Administration, as recommended then by American diplomat George F. Kennan.   Dulles felt the containment approach put the United States in a weak position, because it only was reactive, trying to contain  communist aggression when it occurred.

Dulles sought to push America's policy in a more active direction; some have labeled his approach "brinkmanship."  In an article in LIFE magazine in 1956, Dulles said, "The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art."  He wasn't afraid to threaten massive retaliation against communist enemy countries as a way of intimidating them.
