Use of Force after the Cold War - H. W. Brands

American political scholarship since the early 1970s has so focused on Vietnam that little attention has been paid to Lyndon Johnson's foreign policy in other regions of the world. In this volume, H. W. Brands has gathered the work of some of the most important scholars addressing regions other than Vietnam. Contributors include biographer Robert Dallek, who evaluates the president as a world leader; Thomas A. Schwartz reexamines Johnson's policies toward Europe; John Prados argues that Johnson deserves more credit for the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) than he has previously been given; William O. Walker III analyzes the relationship between the United States and Cuba during Johnson's presidency; and Peter Felten explains the complicated tangle of relations between the United States and the Dominican Republic, focusing on Johnson's role in establishing the parameters of U.S. policy. In "Nasser Delenda Est", Douglas Little examines the Six Day War, and Robert J. McMahon investigates American relations with three Asian allies: Pakistan, Thailand, and the Philippines.Brands, H. W., Jr. is the author of 'Use of Force after the Cold War - H. W. Brands' with ISBN 9780890969281 and ISBN 0890969280.
