7th Edition
Few topics are more difficult to teach, nor more important for our students to understand, than our country's involvement in Vietnam. The Limits of Power: The United States in Vietnam takes students back into history to evaluate how successive U.S. administrations perceived the situation in Vietnam, weighed the stakes, gauged the options, and implemented the policy decisions. The centerpiece of the unit engages students as decision-makers as they wrestle with four distinct options that confronted U.S. leaders in the summer of 1965.
