Preface

The present book examines the national security strategies of the presidents of the United States of America after World War II. The main question that has been asked in this regard is what approaches have these national security strategies had after the World War II? The present project is an analytical descriptive study done through interviews and library sources . Research shows that each of the American presidents had a national strategy in the aftermath of World War II, and in the post-World War II period, the US National Security Strategy has always had a global approach. An assessment of each of these strategies shows that although they have been developed and implemented in response to short-term concerns, they have also constituted some of the fundamental aspects of US foreign policy and macro-strategy; so that the next statesmen have followed its broad political goals and instructions. In other words, each of these strategies is based on previous strategies, which has led to political continuity and the benefit of the United States. In addition, it should be added that during the Trump administration, the national security strategy, due to its incompatibility with its allies and its strong priority over purely American interests, made this period noticeably different from previous periods.
