Book Description:
|
By examining the role of McGeorge Bundy and the NSC, Preston demonstrates that policymakers escalated the conflict in Vietnam in the face of internal opposition, external pressures, and a continually failing strategy. This book has two inseparable themes: the acquisition and consolidation of power; and how that power is exercised.
