add to cart   close window

If the Second World War brought the U.S. military and universities together in an intensive manner for the first time, the permanent crisis of the cold war solidified that relationship and posed a basic threat to the very nature of the university by making it critical to the character of war and the global crisis of the generation. As World War II ended, President Harry S. Truman's science adviser, Vannevar Bush, reflecting the interests of the new civilian scientific managers of the vast military research programs, urged a peacetime continuation of civilian controlled military research centers.
