How did President Eisenhower use brinkmanship to end the conflict in Korea?
As Secretary of State Dulles noted, “the ability to get to the verge without getting into war is the necessary art. If you cannot master it, you inevitably get into war . . . we walked to the brink and we looked it in the face.” The new approach was a dangerous game of brinkmanship, one that involved convincing your enemy of your willingness use nuclear weapons.
