During the Truman administration, significant foreign policy events included the implementation of the Marshall Plan to aid European recovery post-World War II and the establishment of the Truman Doctrine, which committed the U.S. to containing communism. Under Eisenhower, the policy of Massive Retaliation was introduced, along with interventions in the Middle East and Latin America, such as the CIA-led coup in Iran in 1953. Kennedy's administration was marked by the Cuban Missile Crisis, which brought the U.S. and the Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear war, as well as the establishment of the Peace Corps and a focus on counterinsurgency in Vietnam. Each administration navigated the complexities of the Cold War, shaping U.S. engagement with the world.
When dealing with the Soviet Union, Kennedy believed in brinkmanship- pushing disputes to the brink of war and getting them to back down. Eisenhower was less aggressive, possibly because he had seen enough of war.

ROBY C. BARRETT has written: 'GREATER MIDDLE EAST AND THE COLD WAR: US FOREIGN POLICY UNDER EISENHOWER AND KENNEDY'
Foreign Economic Administration was created in 1943.
The focus of the book is on the foreign policy crafted by the academics and intellectuals who were in John F. Kennedy's administration, and the consequences of those policies in Vietnam.
Kennedy was NOT new to foreign aggression. He was a decorated war veteran of WW2 (Commander of Patrol Torpedo Boat #109/PT-109) and had been "briefed" by the out-going President Eisenhower, himself a veteran of WW2.
