Keeping the Cold War Cold
During the Cold War, U.S. strategic leaders had to deal with policies and issues in every part of the globe. The main theater was in Europe, but there were other regions that demanded attention. Korea was an important one. From the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s, the peninsula was on the brink of conflict as North Korea initiated a series of operations that were legitimate acts of war. There was a strong desire among South Korean government officials…
The Olympics and the Cold War
This article is a historiographic review of the literature on the Olympic Games and the Cold War. The topic has been a growth area among scholars of both diplomatic history and the history of sports over the past three decades. Most of the literature has been in English, but a significant amount of work has appeared in French, German, and a few other languages. Despite the proliferation and richness of the historiography, some large gaps in cover…

Telling the Story and Telling the Story Not
The battle of Manila was the longest and largest urban battle in the history of the U.S. Army. However, World War II engagement received little journalistic coverage. Despite having enormous advantages over reporters in controlling the organization of news coverage, the Army largely failed to get the type of reporting that served the institutional interests of the service. A small number of army public affairs officers, often with little training…

Warriors of Word and Sword
The Battle of Okinawa was the last major ground battle of World War ii . The Tenth u.s. Army that invaded this small piece of Japan was a unique force composed of units from the u.s. Army and others from the u.s. Marine Corps. Much historical literature has focused on the different approaches to ground combat of the two armed services, but they also employed very different policies towards support of the news media. The u.s. Marines were much mor…
The Teahouse Tempest
The United States occupied the Japanese island of Okinawa as a colony in everything but name for twenty-seven years after World War II ended in August 1945. This action ran counter to the avowed U.S. foreign policy principle of self-determination. Novelist Vern Sneider, a former U.S. Army civil affairs officer who had been stationed on the island during the postwar years, was a critic of the occupation. For that reason he chose to use his first n…
Moscow versus Los Angeles
In 1970 the Nixon Administration bribed members of the International Olympic Committee in an effort to bring the 1976 summer games to Los Angeles. These actions injected Cold War issues into the process of selecting Olympic host cities. This effort initiated a political confrontation with the Soviet Union, since Moscow was another of the candidate cities. Although weak and vulnerable to political assaults, the International Olympic movement's dec…

Green Politics, Green and Orange Diplomacy
Ireland had significant pull in domestic American politics, but was a minor power in world affairs. The Irish influence was inverse to the relationship the United States had with the United Kingdom. In 1964, these political and diplomatic factors converged when Eamon de Valera, the American born President of the Republic of Ireland, made one last tour of the United States. Lyndon Johnson used the trip to his political advantage without harming th…

Cold War Pop Culture and the Image of U.S. Foreign Policy
Star Trek has been a major American cultural phenomenon. In the 1960s, when the original series was in production, the producers, directors, and writers attempted to use it as a forum to comment on a number of political issues. They intentionally designed some episodes to critique U.S. foreign policy in the belief that the United States should seek to foster democracy and refrain from using force that would undermine the country's positive role i…
Dead Beef and Live Soldiers
The focus of this article is the "friendship" between Lyndon Johnson, president of the United States, and Keith Holyoake, prime minister of New Zealand, and how it influenced the diplomatic relationship their two countries had with one another. Johnson and Holyoake were the masters of their political systems and dominated the political life of their countries in the 1960s. With similar rural backgrounds and professions, they understood one anothe…
The Royal Air Force on Okinawa
General Joseph “Vinegar Joe” Stilwell, commander of the Tenth U.S. Army on Okinawa, made note in his diary of the visitors he saw. His comments on his meeting with Air Vice Marshal Sir Hugh Lloyd of the Royal Air Force (RAF) on 12 July 1945 were brief and to the point: “Limie air marshal in—Lloyd. The God-damn Lancaster outfit.”1 The RAF would soon be joining in on the bombing of Japan from bases on Okinawa. Stilwell had never really liked the Br…
Keystone
Partly by design, partly by accident, partly by invitation, and partly owing to the strength of its institutions, the United States has become an empire. It did not initiate war with Japan, but it successfully countered Japan's expansionism, not to say its atrocities, in a military conflict that lasted nearly four years, took roughly 139,000 American lives, and wounded over 300,000 more. Total United States casualties in the battle for Okinawa al…

In 1972, the United States returned the Ryukyu island chain to Japa nese sovereignty, ending negotiations over the status of this chain and the Bonin islands. The return of these two island chains, which in cluded Okinawa and Iwo Jima, was an example of diplomacy at its very best. The United States and Japan reached a settlement through negotiations that met the minimum needs of both nations. Japan re gained lost territory, while the United State…
