  • The Case That Never Dies: The Lindbergh Kidnapping

    Lloyd C Gardner, Lloyd GardnerBOOKThe Case That Never Dies: The…2019

    The Case That Never Dies places the Lindbergh kidnapping, investigation, and trial in the context of the Depression, when many feared the country was on the edge of anarchy. Gardner delves deeply into the aspects of the case that remain confusing to this day, including Lindbergh’s dealings with crime baron Owney Madden, Al Capone’s New York counterpart, as well as the inexplicable exploits of John Condon, a retired schoolteacher who became the pr…

  • Christopher J. Fuller. See It/Shoot It: The Secret History of the CIA’s Lethal Drone Program

    Lloyd C GardnerARTICLEThe American Historical Review2018

    With See It/Shoot It: The Secret History of the CIA’s Lethal Drone Program, Christopher J. Fuller wants readers to understand that the commonly held belief that drone warfare was a product of the hunt for Osama bin Laden and the war on terror after 9/11 is a misunderstanding of the way things developed. Instead, he argues, while it is true that the use of drones peaked in the Obama administration, the history of drone warfare goes back to the Rea…

  • The Geopolitics of Revolution

    Lloyd C GardnerARTICLEDiplomatic History2014

    Washington policy makers understood World War I as a fundamental challenge to the old imperial order both in terms of geopolitics and ideology. The Bolshevik Revolution merged the two. Wilson's response relied heavily on ideas about how the American development of the West could be transferred to Siberia, thereby outflanking both German and Allied plans for dominating Russia after the war, while also providing an alternative to Bolshevism.

  • Killing machine: The American presidency in the age of drone warfare

    Lloyd C GardnerBOOKKilling machine2013

    With Obama's election to the presidency in 2008, many believed the United States had entered a new era: Obama came into office with high expectations that he would end the war in Iraq and initiate a new foreign policy that would reestablish American values and the United States' leadership role in the world. In this new assessment, historian Lloyd C. Gardner argues that, despite cosmetic changes, Obama has simply built on the expanding power base…

  • Building the capability to manage tourism as support for the Aichi Target

    Open AccessStephen McCool, Stephen F McCool et al.ARTICLEPARKS2012

    Gazetting the tens of thousands of protected areas needed to meet Aichi Target 11 will increase the need for competent management. Many of these protected areas will rely on tourism and visitation for at least part of the funding needed for the effective management also called for in Target 11. Managing tourism and visitation requires a number of needed competencies that provide frameworks for leadership. These competencies involve strategic thin…

  • Fdr and the “Colonial Question”

    Open AccessLloyd C Gardner, Lloyd GardnerCHAPTERFDR's World2008

    There was Something Approaching Unanimity in the American public’s attitude about the “colonial question” during World War II. One would have to look very hard to find anything favorable to “empires” in newspapers or magazines, whatever their point of view on Roosevelt and the New Deal. Restoring colonialism was not considered a worthy war aim. The only place where that might not have been true was inside the State Department, and even there the …

    We first met Walt LaFeber in the fall of 1956 in Fred Harvey Harrington's seminar at the University of Wisconsin. At that time, the prevailing critique of American foreign policy in the academy was the Realist commentary most effectively presented in George Frost Kennan's American Diplomacy, 1900–1950.1 With the “fall” of China in 1949 to the Communists, the State Department and the Truman administration had been put on the defensive by Republica…

The volume reveals 'America's War' as an international event that reverberated all over the world: in domestic settings of numerous nation-states, combatants and non-combatants alike, as well as in transnational relations and alliance systems.

  • Vietnam: The Early Decisions

    A J Bacevich, Lloyd C Gardner et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Military History1998

    More than twenty years have passed since American military personnel finally withdrew from Vietnam, yet haunting questions remain about our involvement there. Perhaps the most persistent of these - and certainly the most unanswerable - is the question of what would have happened if President Kennedy had lived beyond 1963. Would he have ended American involvement in Vietnam? For many Americans, Oliver Stone's powerful film JFK answered the questio…

  • From the American Archives

    Lloyd C GardnerARTICLEDiplomatic History1998

    We have been much taken lately with new discoveries from the archives of the former Soviet Union. The first probes into the vast Kremlin document trove – whose final dimensions defy the imagination – have only just begun, but strong claims are being put forward for what the findings tell us about the origins of the Cold War and Josef Stalin's foreign policy. The formal “release” of two new volumes of documents on the Vietnam War via the Foreign R…

    Before World War II, French Indochina little concerned American policymakers. The idea of sending half a million men to fight a war there would have seemed as fantastic as sending a man to the moon. Even after John F. Kennedy decided that the United States should - and could - send a man to the moon, the idea of sending half a million men to Vietnam still seemed fantastic. When George Ball expressed fears that such a possibility indeed existed if…

    Larry Berman, Robert A Divine et al.BOOKVietnam1997

    Haunting questions remain about our involvement in Vietnam. Perhaps the most persistent of these is whether President Kennedy would have ended American involvement in Vietnam if he had lived. For many Americans, Oliver Stone's film JFK left no doubt that before his assassination Kennedy had determined to quit Vietnam. Yet the historical record offers a more complex answer. In this fresh look at the archival evidence, noted scholars take up the ch…
