Eisenhower's New Look containment strategy was predicated on American strength in science and technology, but the relationship between science and the Cold War state was complex and conflicted. Scientists and statesmen constantly negotiated the appropriate balance between the requirements of scientific progress and national security. Ultimately, after the Soviet sputniks, Eisenhower's personal science advisers, James Killian and George Kistiakowsky, supported by the newly-established President's Science Advisory Committee, became ubiquitous as the administration grappled with the consequences of the technological arms race and the advent of the space race.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS:\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eList of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: From the Old Consensus to the New: The Impact of Depression and War on Government-Science Relations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Science, Secrecy, and Security: Science Advice in the Early Eisenhower Administration\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: The Technological Capabilities Panel and the Emergence of Eisenhower's \"Scientific-Technological Elite\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: The Sputnik Crisis and the Reorganization of Science Advice at the White House\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Containing the Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex: Eisenhower's Scientists and Post-Sputnik Defense Policy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Eisenhower's Science Advisers and the Early Space Race\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: The Limitations of Expert Advice: The Nuclear Test Ban Debate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Strengthening American Science: National Security, Science, and Education\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard V.
