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. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Johnson's War/Johnson's Great Society : The Guns and Butter Trap (Jeffrey W. Helsing)
