The U.S. government and the Vietnam war : executive and legislative roles and relationships. Part I, 1945-1960 / William Conrad Gibbons.

Summary:

This searching analysis of what has been called America's longest war"" was commissioned by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations to achieve an improved understanding of American participation in the conflict. Part I begins with Truman's decision at the end of World War II to accept French reoccupation of Indochina, rather than to seek the international trusteeship favored earlier by Roosevelt. It then discusses U.S. support of the French role and U.S. determination to curtail Communist expansion in Asia. Originally published in 1986. The Princeton Legacy Library uses.
