  • The Vietnam Trauma in American Foreign Policy, 1945–75

    Alan R Beals, Paul M KattenburgBOOKVietnam Trauma in American…2019

    This study of ten fateful decisions made on Indochina between 1961-75 highlights the ascent of the civilian militarists and of strategy over diplomacy in United States policymaking and reveals the inexorably interlinked and escalating character of the decisions and the central purpose of American presidents: not to have to face the expected domestic political consequences of defeat in Indochina. As a result, we were led into a prolonged stalemate…

    Alan R BealsCHAPTERRoutledge Handbook of Environmental…2016
