Deterrence and Survival in the Nuclear Age (1 Nov 1957 Jahr – 30 Nov 1957 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

-Report submitted to the NSC and President Eisenhower concerning strategy to prepare for a nuclear attack from the Soviet Union
-It is commonly referred to as the Gaither Report; the name is derived from the chairman of the Science Advisory Committee, H. Rowan Gaither
-Called for an urgent strengthening of the US's missile technology and defensive and offensive military capabilities alongside a 50% increase in US military spending and a redesign of the Department of Defense
-This likely increased tensions because it called for increasing military forces with the intention of using the strengthened military forces against the USSR
