Includes bibliographical references (pages 225-226) and index.
Introduction: Contingency planning in turbulent times -- The strategy of the ceasefire -- The XX plus 60 period -- The collapse of the equilibrium strategy -- Going down with colors flying -- Ford and the fall of Saigon -- Beyond defeat in Indochina -- Conclusion: a mixed record.
This book offers a fresh interpretation of American strategy in the wake of the cease-fire that began in Vietnam on January 28, 1973. The U.S. exit from Vietnam continues to be important in discussions of present-day U.S. foreign policy, so it is crucial that it be interpreted correctly. In challenging the prevailing version of the history of the events, the book provides interesting correctives to the different accounts, including the ones of the key actors themselves, President Richard Nixon and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger foremost among them.
