ABSTRACT
John Shy, The American Military Experience
Truman, Shy, and others identifi ed signifi cant practices of the American national strategy and doctrines that were no longer sustainable, because of the new world order created by World War II, the acceptance of United States government of new political objectives, and the invention of nuclear technology. Cultural tenets, which had sustained the nation in war for two hundred years, were no longer capable of producing the expected political outcomes.
