National Security Council Memorandum-68  

Definition(s)

  • National Security Council Memorandum-68 (NSC-68) was the preeminent policy document shaping U.S. strategic thinking during the early years of the Cold War. Its interpretation of the Soviet Union as an expanding, aggressive, and duplicitous power whose influence had to be checked across the globe is a hallmark of the era. [Source: Encyclopedia of War & American Society; National Security Council Memorandum-68]
