Sixty years ago, the world stood on the brink of catastrophe. The colonial war in southeast Asia, which sawAmerican involvement begin under President Eisenhower, who sent arms shipments and “advisors” (1955), continued to escalate under Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon toward a wrenching US defeat, roiling the American political scene.
