Norman Podhoretz's "Why We Were In Vietnam"

Abstract: 5 pages in length. The author's intent in "Why We Were In Vietnam" is to bring to light the events that took place to ultimately embroil America in one of history's bloodiest conflicts. Through insightful observation, Podhoretz illustrates that as the President Johnson addressed the nation regarding the Vietnam War -- a battle that is still considered to be part of the Kennedy Administration -- it was clear that his intention all along was to engage in combat with the North Vietnamese. No additional sources cited.
