Washington, D.C. Office of the Secretary of Defense, Historical Office, 1984. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. Format is approximately 7 inches by 10 inches. xi, [3], 667, [3] pages. Illustrated endpapers. Illustrations (Photographs, Charts and Tables). Fold-outs List of Abbreviations. Notes. Note on Sources and Selected Bibliography. Index. DJ is quite worn, torn and soiled. The first volume in an important new series that will provide a comprehensive history of the Office of the Secretary of Defense traces the evolution of OSD from its establishment in September 1947 to the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950. As the title indicates, these were years of beginnings that ushered in the present-day era of service unification and saw the development of polices and programs that would have lasting impact on national security. The book opens with the swearing-in of the first Secretary of Defense, James Forrestal, who faced the dual challenge of effecting unification of the armed forces and of reconstituting U.S. defense policy to meet an increasing array of problems and threats abroad, with the Cold War with the Soviet Union heading the list. His successor, Louis Johnson, had the benefit of amendments in 1949 that enhanced the secretary's power. Johnson confronted fierce interservice competition for scarce funds, and deeply divisive quarrels, especially between the Air Force and the Navy, over the assignment of roles and missions. A series of chapters on the making of the defense budgets for the period strikingly illuminates the intricate relationships among strategic policies, military programs, roles and missions, and money.
