What really happened on the battlefield and why did senior officials hide the facts from him? Why did those facts end up in the vice president's office instead of Kennedy's? What policy did Lyndon Johnson inherit from the fallen president and why has this crucial issue remained shrouded in mystery and controversy for nearly thirty years? In what may well be the most shocking and historically important work on the Vietnam War ever written, JFK AND VIETNAM answers these questions and lifts the veil surrounding the struggle over intervention in the pivotal Kennedy years. It documents the persistence with which the Joint Chiefs of Staff and senior civilian officials advocated that the president send American combat troops into Vietnam in the wake of the Bay of Pigs fiasco and the collapse of his policy in Laos. It unravels the intrigues and webs of deception that followed Kennedy's refusal to order troops to the region and his decision to ship advisors instead. It lays bare the stark failure of Kennedy's Vietnam program and unearths the vital intelligence that was kept from him. It leads the reader from the trails in Laos and the battlefields in Vietnam to the maze of official Washington and the offices where both the truth and the lies finally emerged. It reveals an isolated president locked in a struggle with the advisors he appointed and the bureaucracy he had fashioned. And it brings to light the tragic climax to this struggle: while his advisors were planning to escalate, Kennedy was planning to withdraw when the shots rang out in Dallas. Based on 15,000 pages of documents, many newly declassified, and recent exclusive interviews with key participants, John M. Newman details, as no other historian has, this dramatic and incredible sequence of events. Groundbreaking in its revelations and certain to provoke debate for years to come, JFK AND VIETNAM shows us, at last, the personalities, power struggles, and intrigues that led America into its most self~destructive war. A gripping account of a missing link in America's past, it is also an ominous warning for America's future.".…
