  Examining the role of McGeorge Bundy and National Security Council, this title demonstrates that policymakers escalated the conflict in Vietnam in the face of internal opposition, external pressures, and a continually failing strategy. It presents the story with 2 themes: acquisition and consolidation of power; and, how that power is exercised.
