Blog author, Russell Wellen, begins by recalling an old article Jeremi Suri wrote on Nixon and the "madman theory" that hinged on the Vietnam War. He then follows that with an excerpt for Frank Gavin's recent book "Nuclear Statecraft: History and Strategy in America's Atomic Age" on how the Vietnam War affected U.S. thinking on non-proliferation.

In a recent op-ed, Celeste Ward Gventer, Strauss Center Associate Director, reflects on the Iraq War ten years after its initiation.

In his recent post on the ForeignPolicy.com blog Shadow Government, Dr. William Inboden analyzes and criticizes the foreign policy strategies Senator Rand Paul presented in his recent speech at the Heritage Foundation.

In their recent piece in Foreign Affairs titled "Congress is Already Post-Partisan," Strauss Center Scholars Dr. Will Inboden and Dr. Joshua Busby, along with co-writers Jonathan Monten and Jordan Tama, analyze partisan attitudes regarding numerous foreign policy concerns.  The authors surveyed senior Democratic and Republican leaders and staff on topics ranging from participation in international institutions, U.S. sovereignty, U.S.-Israeli relations, and international trade and financial institutions.  The results of the survey showed remarkable agreement on many issues, giving hope that partisan disputes may not be as substantial in U.S. foreign affairs.

Associate Director of the Strauss Center Celeste Ward Gventer was asked once again to give her expert opinion on PBS NewsHour.  Airing the evening of January 9th, Celeste discussed troop levels in Afghanistan after 2014 with host Judy Woodruff and fellow guest Bing West.
