President Lyndon Johnson
President Lyndon Johnson
YEAR OF THE HAWK: AMERICA’S DESCENT INTO VIETNAM, 1965 is an in-depth look into the early days of United States’ escalation of the Vietnam War under the Johnson Administration. After the Kennedy Assassination, President Lyndon Johnson inherited a foreign policy quagmire in South East Asia.
Inexperienced in foreign policy, he sought advice from U.S. National Security Advisor, McGeorge Bundy and Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara.
These two men would be the architects behind President Johnson’s decision to escalate the war in Vietnam.
The book offers readers an inside look into the first year of new “ground war” in Vietnam. From the battlefields at Ia Drang Valley to the skies during Operation Rolling Thunder, author James A. Warren provides readers with new insights on one of the biggest historical events of the late 20th century. YEAR OF THE HAWK will leave readers with a new understanding of what motivated President Johnson to commit so many lives to the war in Vietnam [bit.ly/3doXrXv].
