The New Look sought to formulate a more selective and flexible response to Communist challenges. The New Look was not simply a `bigger bang for a buck' nor merely a device for achieving a balanced budget, nor did it amount solely to a strategy of massive retaliation, as is commonly assumed. Dr Dockrill's incisive revisionist analysis of the subject throws new light on US ambitious global strategy during the Eisenhower years.

Recently declassified documents from the Eisenhower Administration are used for a historical review of administration policy, strategy and regional security decisions. A strong manager, President Eisenhower recast U.S. strategy to support the containment policy. Dubbed the New Look, it was expected to achieve an economical force structure through reliance on the technology of the atomic age. A fiscal summary of the four years prior to the Lebanon Intervention for each service is provided and reviewed. Reductions in defense spending did not prevent conventional force modernization. The Eisenhower Doctrine was a signal of the administration's commitment to maintaining stability through the use of conventional force and financial assistance. The decision to place U.S. troops in Lebanon was part of administration efforts to come to tems with regional instability. The Eisenhower Administration had a responsive strategy program and it used conventional U.S. forces in achieving its objectives.
History of International Relations, Diplomacy and Intelligence, 20 (History of International Relations Library, 31) ABOUT THE BOOK: This book provides the first in-depth examination of the role of science and scientists in the national security policymaking of the Eisenhower administration. Eisenhower's New Look containment strategy was predicated on American strength in science and technology, but the relationship between science and the Cold War state was complex and conflicted. Scientists and statesmen constantly negotiated the appropriate balance between the requirements of scientific progress and national security. Ultimately, after the Soviet sputniks, Eisenhower's personal science advisers, James Killian and George Kistiakowsky, supported by the newly-established President's Science Advisory Committee, became ubiquitous as the administration grappled with the consequences of the technological arms race and the advent of the space race.
