edited by William Appleman Williams and others.
This collection of essays and documents, written and compiled by four distinguished historians, is an essential source book for anyone seeking to understand the causes, character, and consequences of American involvement in Vietnam.
Through a wide variety of documents - including newly opened presidential papers, congressional debates, military reports, treaties, and newspaper articles - the authors trace the origins of the war back to pre-World War II attitudes and then proceed through the development of the "domino theory' and the policies of Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Jonson, and Nixon to the fall of South Vietnam in 1975. -- book cover
