«The Reagan Doctrine bears a modest resemblance to proposals for a "roll back" of communism advanced by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and embraced by many conservatives in the early and mid-1950s. One crucial difference is that the roll-back concept applied almost exclusively to Eastern Europe, whereas the Reagan Doctrine is explicitly designed to exploit developments in the Third World. The intellectual roots of the Reagan Doctrine can perhaps be found in the writings of Laurence W. Beilenson, who has repeatedly advocated adopting Leninist subversion tactics and using them against vulnerable portions of the Soviet empire.» — Carpenter T.
