Defense on a diet: How budget crisis have improved US strategy / Leffler, Melvyn P   Journal Article
Leffler, Melvyn P Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract The United States is now in a period of austerity, and after years of huge increases, the defense budget is set to be scaled back. Even those supporting the cuts stress the need to avoid the supposedly awful consequences of past retrenchments. "We have to remember the lessons of history," President Barack Obama said in January 2012. "We can't afford to repeat the mistakes that have been made in the past -- after World War II, after Vietnam -- when our military policy was left ill prepared for the future. As commander in chief, I will not let that happen again." Similarly, then Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta told Congress in October 2011, "After every major conflict -- World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the fall of the Soviet Union -- what happened was that we ultimately hollowed out the force. Whatever we do in confronting the challenges we face now on the fiscal side, we must not make that mistake."

Foreign policies of the George W Bush administration: memoirs, history, legacy / Leffler, Melvyn P   Journal Article
Leffler, Melvyn P Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract As Condoleezza Rice was completing her term as secretary of state, she visited New Delhi, walked into the prime minister's living room, and "came face to face" with his national security advisor, M. K. Narayanan. India had recently experienced the horrendous terrorist attack in Mumbai, and Narayanan, Rice writes, "had the same shell-shocked look that I remembered seeing in the mirror after the attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon." She took his hands and said, "It's not your fault… . I know how you feel. It's like being in a dark room with doors all around and knowing anything might pop out and attack again. But now you have to concentrate on preventing the next attack." Rice could not recall how Narayanan responded, but it didn't matter. "I was very much inside myself," she writes. "I was replaying those awful days in the wake of 9/11 that had from that time forward been September 12 over and over again. Nothing was ever the same… . Protest as you might to yourself, to the nation, and to the world, you never get over that feeling you could have done better. And you resolve never to let it happen again."1

One hundred years of Russian American Relations / Leffler, Melvyn P; Hitchcock, William I   Journal Article
Leffler, Melvyn P Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In the spring of 2017 many members of SHAFR participated in an exchange of emails and expressed frustration, indeed exasperation, over the prevailing state of affairs in the United States and elsewhere around the globe. Scholars voiced their dismay at the disregard for truth, facts, and objective analysis, as well as the scorn for expertise, among our leaders and in our public discourse. SHAFR members asked one another how they could make a difference. They wondered whether they could transcend the gulf that was dividing the American public. What could historians do to bridge the gap and assist policymakers?

Ruminating During a Pandemic / Leffler, Melvyn P   Journal Article
Leffler, Melvyn P Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Amidst my anger and sadness, I have been ruminating a lot during this pandemic. Almost every day now I read about the worsening of U.S.-China relations and the onset of a new Cold War. As relations deteriorate, and each government takes action to retaliate against the other, I can’t help but reflect on the remaking of America’s national security priorities, the liberal international order, and the future of democratic capitalism; issues that I have written about for most of my career.
