"This is a study of U.S. government policymaking during the 30 years of the Vietnam war 1945-75 beginning with the 1945-1960 period. Although focusing on the course of events in Washington and between Washington and U.S. officials on the scene it also depicts major events and trends in Vietnam to which the U.S. was responding as well as the state of American public opinion and public activity directed at supporting or opposing the war."--Preface in first volume. This is part of a five volume work. This document was prepared for the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations by the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress. S. Prt. 103-83 Pt. 4. This fourth volume of a five-part policy history of the U.S. government and the Vietnam War covers the core period of U.S. involvement from July 1965 when the decision was made to send large-scale U.S. forces to the beginning of 1968 just before the Tet offensive and the decision to seek a negotiated settlement. Using a wide variety of archival sources and interviews the book examines in detail the decisions of the president relations between the president and Congress and the growth of public and congressional opposition to the war. Differences between U.S. military leaders on how the war should be fought are also included as well as military planning and operations. Among many other important subjects the financial effects of the war and of raising taxes are considered as well as the impact of a tax increase on congressional and public support for the war. Another major interest is the effort by Congress to influence the conduct of the war and to place various controls on U.S. goals and operations. The emphasis throughout this richly textured narrative is on providing a better understanding of the choices facing the United States and the way in which U.S. policymakers tried to find an effective politico-military strategy while also probing for a diplomatic settlement.

1968908<p>Condition: Good. This softbound first edition has a fading cover in places unmarked pages and good binding. The publication is found nowhere but here. The Michael McClure play <em>The Beard</em> 1965 was causing controversy everywhere it played and when performed in a class on directing plays at Fullerton College in November 1967 in response to complaints a state senate committee conducted a hearing. The result was this report and a subsequent senate bill in February 1968. It stated in part that "every student . and every teacher or school official who knowingly permits . any simulated act of sexual intercourse or deviant sexual conduct occurring during the course of a play . is guilty of misdemeanor." The bill passed the senate in May 1968 but in the Assembly the bill died in committee. The report is of ongoing interest for the conflict it portrays between free expression in this case artistic expression and intolerant governmental reactions to it by reason of stewardship over taxpayer dollars. This orientation is revealed in particular in the questions that committee members put to witnesses in particular the instructor of the class on directing plays and his frustrated struggle to explain his academic mission.</p> Senate of the State of California paperback
