The Sputnik Challenge Résumé

The Sputnik Challenge Robert A. Divine (Professor of History, Professor of History, University of Texas, Austin)

Professor Divine, one of the leading American diplomatic historians, here examines the major controversy of Eisenhower's second term: the successful Soviet launching of Sputnik, which triggered a long period of public anxiety over the quality of American strategic, technological, and educational policies. He traces the dramatic and long-reaching impact of these events, especially on defence strategy and educational programmes.
