Most accounts of Cold War history cite a few pivotal writings from the years 1945-1953 as canonical texts for defining and understanding the conflict. These include Winston Churchill’s “Sinews of Peace” speech (wherein he warned of the “Iron Curtain” descending across Europe), George Kennan’s “Long Telegram” and subsequent “Sources of Soviet Conduct” article in Foreign Affairs, the Clifford-Elsey Report, and the NSC-68 strategy document authored by Paul Nitze for the Truman Administration. Although the details differed, each of these, in its own way, laid out a “theory of the case” on the nature of the Soviet communist threat, how the United States should counter it, and how the conflict might be resolved.
