Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Historians have established a norm whereby President Eisenhower's actions in relation to the dawn of the space age are judged solely as a response to the Soviet launch of the Sputnik satellite, and are indicative of a passive, negative presidency. His low-key actions are seen merely as a pre…lude to the US triumph in space which is largely bookended first by President Kennedys man-to-the-moon pledge in 1961, and finally by Neil Armstrongs moon landing eight years later. This book presents an alternative view of the development of space policy during Eisenhowers administration, assessing the hypothesis that his space policy was not a reaction to the heavily-propagandized Soviet satellite launches, or even the effect they caused in the US political and military elites, but the continuation of a strategic journey. This study engages with three distinct but converging strands of literature and proposes a revised interpretation of Eisenhowers actions in relation to rockets, missiles and satellites: namely that Eisenhower was operating on a parallel path to the established norm that started with the Bikini Atoll Castle H-bomb tests; developed through the CIA's reconnaissance efforts and was distilled in the Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 which set a policy for US involvement in outer space that matched Eisenhowers desire for a balanced budget and fundamental belief in maintaining peace. President Eisenhower was not interested in joining a space race: while national security underpinned his thinking, his space policy actions were strategic steps that actively sidestepped internecine armed forces rivalry, and provided a logical next step for both civilian and military space programs at the completion of the International Geophysical Year. In reassessing the United States first space policy, the book adds to the revisionism under way in relation to the Eisenhower presidency, focusing on the Helping Hands that enabled him to wage peace. Ahead of the sixtieth anniversary of the dawn of the Space Age, this revisionist study examines the development of space policy during the Eisenhower administration. It challenges traditional scholarly assessments and argues that President Eisenhowers space policies were proactive and activist rather than passive and reactive to Soviet successes.
