Knygos aprašymas

"Determined to Persist" takes readers inside the White House, the Pentagon, and the U.S. military headquarters in Hawaii and South Vietnam as it traces the internal debates, tensions, and critical inflection points of an extraordinary, six-year period of the Vietnam War.

The longest serving Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Earle G. Wheeler was the senior military advisor to Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. In disgust with their administrations' disastrous Vietnam War policies, Wheeler shredded his memoirs. He died three years later. In consequence, a gaping hole has existed in the historiography of the Vietnam War -- until now.

Using exclusive documents from the Wheeler family and others recently declassified, "Determined to Persist" overturns long-held, inaccurate perceptions of civilian-military relations during the Vietnam era and provides a fuller, more accurate representation of the Joint Chiefs of Staff's role in the Vietnam War.
