The course of the Cold War was channelled by a small number of close decisions. One was the U.S. decision not to become actively involved in the Chinese Civil War, which was largely a decision by Secretary of State George C. Marshall.
The Journal of Military History is published quarterly by the Society for Military History, an organization of about 2000 historians and persons with a scholarly interest in military history. The organization (formerly the American Military Institute) was established in 1937, and has published a quarterly journal under various titles since that date. The Journal--published in January, April, July, and October-- includes scholarly articles and book reviews on topics in military history from all chronological periods and geographical areas. Note: The Journal of Military History has undergone several name changes. It began publication in 1937 as The Journal of the American Military History Foundation, and became The Journal of the American Military Institute in 1939. In 1941 the title was changed to Military Affairs, and in 1989 it became The Journal of Military History.
