Formed in December 1944, the State-War-Navy Coordinating Committee (SWNCC) was the first U.S. agency to coordinate the policy-making efforts of the State Department and the Pentagon. In 1947, SWNCC was renamed the State-Army-Navy-Air Force Coordinating Committee (SANACC). In June 1949 it was absorbed into the National Security Council. In its five-year existence, SWNCC/SANACC produced 402 case studies covering the full range of postwar policy problems. This set reproduces the full texts of all declassified SWNCC and SANACC case papers and related interagency and inter-Allied correspondence. The case studies involve most major postwar problems and issues, including the occupation of Japan, the division of Germany, and the fate of Eastern Europe.
