What was new about President Eisenhower’s “New Look” in American foreign policy in the 1950s? Compare and contrast it with President Truman’s containment policy.

What will be an ideal response?

ANSWER
The “New Look” reduced the military budget, placed greater reliance on nuclear weaponry and the air force, and adopted a “massive retaliation” military strategy. The “New Look” continued the containment policy, but without the expensive commitment to send men and weapons to all corners of the world to contain Communism.
