Lyndon Johnson's War: America's Cold War Crusade in Vietnam, 1945-1968

The Hill and Wang Critical Issues Series: concise, affordable works on pivotal topics in American history, society, and politics.

Using newly available documents from both American and Vietnamese archives, Hunt reinterprets the values, choices, misconceptions, and miscalculations that shaped the long process of American intervention in Southeast Asia, and renders more comprehensible — if no less troubling — the tangled origins of the war.
