Fry. This book was released on 2006. Debating Vietnam available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In the midst of the Vietnam War, two titans of the Senate, J. William Fulbright and John C. Stennis, held public hearings to debate the conflict's future. In this intriguing new work, historian Joseph A. Fry provides the first comparative analysis of these inquiries and the senior southern Senators who led them. The Senators' shared aim was to alter the Johnson administration's strategy and bring an end to the war--but from dramatically different perspectives. Fulbright hoped to pressure Johnson to halt escalation and seek a negotiated settlement, while Stennis wanted to prompt the President to bomb North Vietnam more aggressively and secure a victorious end to the war. Publicized and televised, these hearings added fuel to the fire of national debate over Vietnam policy and captured the many arguments of both hawks and doves. Fry details the dramatic confrontations between the Senate committees and the administration spokesmen, Dean Rusk and Robert McNamara, and he probes the success of congressional efforts to influence Vietnam policy. Ultimately, Fry shows how the Fulbright and Stennis hearings provide vivid insight into the debate over why the United States was involved in Vietnam and how the war should be conducted.

Perceptions about the Vietnam war continue to be crucially important in national assessments of American foreign policy. This volume brings together some of the USA's experts on the Vietnam war to review the principal arguments in the national debate that shaped American foreign policy in the light of information now available on the war - nearly two decades after the principal debate. The cumulative impact is striking in persuasively demonstrating how so many of the popularly accepted arguments were pure myth.
