Review
"Finally, we have reached a point where scholars have the interest and the raw historical materials which permit substantive analyses of US relations with diverse nations around the globe during Lyndon Johnson’s presidency, not just Vietnam. The authors in this volume take us beyond the Vietnam War to give highly readable and well documented analyses of US foreign policy making in the Johnson White House. The research is excellent and the writing is skillful. LBJ emerges as a president who continues to surprise us."--David M. Barrett, Villanova University, editor of Lyndon B. Johnson’s Vietnam Papers: A Documentary Collection, author of Uncertain Warriors: Lyndon Johnson and His Vietnam Advisors
