Summary

A dramatic study of the US decision to escalate the war in Vietnam. Logevall argues that there was a clear alternative to escalation, supported by our allies in France and Britain as well as numerous powerful people at home. It was discussed at the highest levels, and rejected. Logevall shows in detail how the decision was made.
