Book Synopsis Johnson's War/Johnson's Great Society by : Jeffrey W. Helsing
Book excerpt: Examines President Johnson's efforts to stem the advance of communism in Southeast Asia while pursuing a Great Society at home. Helsing provides a unique perspective on the escalation of the Vietnam War. He examines what many analysts and former policymakers in the Johnson administration have acknowledged as a crucial factor in the way the United States escalated in Vietnam: Johnson's desire for both guns and butter--his belief that he must stem the advance of communism in Southeast Asia while pursuing a Great Society at home.
