Book Chapter

Overview
This concluding chapter discusses the wider implications of the present study. For students of bureaucratic politics, this study reinforces the importance of the early Cold War to civil–military relations and illustrates its nature. The services fought each other with little restraint in a ferocious free-for-all, each trying to claw its way to the top of the budget. However, they all remained loyal to the system of civilian control, even when they believed that system was run irresponsibly and dangerously by inexperienced men. This study has additional implications for the realm of strategic studies. It demonstrates that any examination of nuclear strategy and deterrence must consider the historical origins of strategic airpower theory, and understand its incremental development in the face of technology and Soviet power. The study also suggests the need to modify the standard interpretations of US strategy and power in the early Cold War, starting with a reconsideration of the presumed relationship between national strategy and operational planning—between declaratory and action policy.
