"This first series of studies by the Historical Office of the Secretary of Defense emphasizes the Secretary's role in the policy process--the interaction of individuals and institutions--and how the position evolved between 1947 and the early 1990s with the collapse of the Soviet Union. The study presented here is by no means meant to be a comprehensive or detailed look at the Secretary's involvement in foreign affairs. But as a member of the President's cabinet and the National Security Council charged with managing the largest and most complex department in the government, the Secretary of Defense routinely participates in a variety of actions that affect the substance and conduct of American affairs abroad. More influential at some times than at others, the Secretary of Defense has consistently been a key figure among the President's senior advisors. But the role and impact of the Secretary of Defense, unlike those of Secretary of State, are little studied and less well understood."--Page viii-ix.
