Question

Compare and contrast the Cold War foreign policies of TWO of the following presidents: Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon.

Answer 1

Dwight Eisenhower's experience with Cold War containment was born directly from the Second World War, in the sense that his objectives seemed very clear. By the time Nixon came to office, it was less clear about how the US should deal with the USSR, and it showed in Nixon's policies.
