Summary

In this major study, a noted expert on the Vietnam War objectively examines how and why President Lyndon Johnson and his administration conducted the war as they did. Drawing on a wealth of newly released documents from the LBJ Library, George Herring discusses the concept of limited war and how it affected President Johnson's decision making, Johnson's relations with his military commanders, the administration's pacification program of 1965-1967, the management of public opinion, and the 'fighting while negotiating' strategy pursued after the Tet Offensive in 1968.
