9\x1e750b"This book offers an analysis of the United States\' conventional military 
buildup during the final decade of the Cold War. Departing from a historiography
 largely focused on strategic arms and summit diplomacy, the work examines how t
he modernization of non-nuclear forces formed an integral part of Ronald Reagan'
s broader Cold War strategy. It shows that the revitalization of conventional fo
rces was not ancillary to diplomacy but a central pillar of a policy that sought
 to negotiate from strength while enhancing deterrence. Spanning the late 1970s 
and 1980s, the book explores how the armed forces were rebuilt after the post-Vi
etnam downturn. It highlights well-known and illustrative case studies-including
 the M1 Abrams tank, advanced tactical aircraft, naval expansion, precision-guid
ed munitions, and new command-and-control systems-to demonstrate how doctrine, t
echnology, and personnel reforms were closely linked. Methodologically grounded 
in defence budgets, congressional debates, official reports, and service doctrin
es, the study argues that the conventional buildup played a significant yet unde
rappreciated role in shaping the Cold War's final phase. By strengthening deterr
ence, reassuring allies, and intensifying economic and technological competition
, these reforms contributed to pressures that influenced Soviet policy choices a
nd reforms, leaving an enduring imprint on the Cold War's outcome and the post-C
old War world. This book will be of much interest to students of US political hi
story, Cold War Studies, strategic studies and International Relations"-- Provid
