One of a series which studies the creation of a national security policy by focusing on what the policy has been and why. Looks at a number of different perspectives derived from events between 1945 and 1960. Samuel Phillips Huntington (April 18, 1927-December 24, 2008) was an American political scientist, adviser, and academic. He spent more than half a century at Harvard University, where he was director of Harvard's Center for International Affairs and the Albert J. Weatherhead III University Professor. During the presidency of Jimmy Carter, Huntington was the White House Coordinator of Security Planning for the National Security Council. Huntington is best known for his 1993 theory, the "Clash of Civilizations", of a post-Cold War new world order. He argued that future wars would be fought not between countries, but between cultures, and that Islamic extremism would become the biggest threat to Western domination of the world. Huntington is credited with helping to shape American views on civilian-military relations, political development, and comparative government. According to the Open Syllabus Project, Huntington is the second most frequently cited author on college syllabi for political science courses. Huntington was a member of Harvard's department of government from 1950 until he was denied tenure in 1959. Along with Zbigniew Brzezinski, who had also been denied tenure, he moved to Columbia University in New York. It is a book about the national defense policy-making process as revealed in the record of the 15 years between 1945 and 1960. The author has skillfully melded a wealth of case history material with a theoretical structure that is both insightful and unobtrusive. The result is an extremely interesting and rewarding study.
