Summary: "…editor Davis (School of Advanced Military Studies at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas) describes the genesis of this two-volume reference as his own need for a who-what-when compendium of information on the Cold War national security system. The project expanded, and in a systematic manner this reference covers every presidential administration beginning with McKinley (1897-1901) and ending with Clinton (1993-2001). Each administration's is described in terms of key personnel, detailed lists of meetings of the president with advisors and foreign dignitaries, and chronologies of activities and decrees related to foreign policy. The material was gleaned from numerous sources housed primarily by The National Archives and Records Administration. Appendices include brief biographical sketches, nuclear weapons chronologies, and US-Soviet meetings." - Reference & Research Book News.
