  Fawn M. Brodie
Fawn Brodie was born in Ogden, Utah and her uncle David O. McKay was to later become the 9th president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Brodie was so anti-Mormon in her own intellectual orientation that she succumbed to the temptation to bring nineteenth century literature of Mormon countersubversion uncritically and in large doses into her own work.
Brodies did not have a perfect right to hold such a belief herself, but it is an attitude which is destined to distort any religious figure--to reduce him to the level of comedy or of pathetic self-delusion.

 The Legend and Legacy of Fawn Brodie - FARMS Review
The other aspects of Brodie's career are merely accessories to (and the occasion for) the story he strives to tell about her struggle to free herself from bondage to what she pictured as a dreadfully constraining, parochial Mormon environment.
Brodie granted that "Durham is no fool." But she complained that he "is either shamefully ignorant of the whole field of American Indian anthropology and archaeology and ethnology, or else has blockaded himself behind a lot of emotional barriers."
Brodie was also aware of Hugh Nibley's various criticisms of her work (and also of his subsequent defense of the historical authenticity of the Book of Mormon).

Bernard was particularly influenced by two outstanding professors: Jacob Viner, a specialist in the politics of international relations and former advisor to Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Quincy Wright, a world-renowned expert on the causes of war.
Brodie's alienation was also reflected in her response in late March 1944 to the apparent involvement of Mormon Church officials in the arrest and prosecution of Mormon fundamentalists in Salt Lake City earlier that month.
Brodie responded positively to Morgan's varied suggestions, but the task of incorporating them into her final draft was interrupted by a two-week visit from her mother and father in early September.

 Utah History Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Brodie's fifth and final biography, Richard Nixon: The Shaping of His Character (1981), was completed as she was dying of cancer.
It presented its subject in an extremely negative light, asserting that the personality of the disgraced ex-President was shaped by three major factors: the idea and fear of death, his trait as a pathological liar, and a lack of capacity to love.
Even though Brodie did not live to see her Nixon biography in print, controversy surrounding this work and, indeed, her various other biographies has continued to the present, illustrating that her willingness to challenge the accepted was not the least of her own character traits and virtues.

 American Strategic Thinking
Bernard Brodie is a strategist whose style of thinking differs significantly from those exhibited in the works of Kahn and Schelling.
Brodie’s concern with the structure of the political and strategic environment derives possibly from his background in political science; analysis in that field typically runs in terms of the shaping influences which the structure of an institution exerts upon its constituent processes.
Brodie would seem to be saying that the very structure of a confrontation imposes constraints upon the political and military processes that go on within it, including those human responses that would be called irrational.

 Bernard Brodie and the Foundations of American Nuclear Strategy
Renowned as "the American Clausewitz," Bernard Brodie (1910-1978) was one of the premier architects and proponents of the strategy of deterrence and one of the most articulate voices in the debate over the role of nuclear weapons.
Steiner maps out Brodie's strategic thought as it developed from the best-selling Seapower in the Machine Age (1941) and The Absolute Weapon: Atomic Power and World Order (1946) through Strategy and the Missile Age (1959) and War and Politics (1973), and in his articles, lectures, reports, and speeches.
He analyzes how Brodie and other strategists tried to cope with the juggernaut of change in nuclear weapons systems, Soviet expansionist aims, the wars in Korea and Vietnam, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and a host of other events and issues.

In 1946, strategic analyst Bernard Brodie thought so when he wrote: "Thus far the chief purpose of our military establishment has been to win wars.
From now on its chief purpose must be to avert them." The idea that Brodie expressed was that of nuclear deterrence: nuclear weapons should serve the purpose to prevent their use.
