| 520 | 8 | |a Rust discusses the formulation and execution of US foreign policy in Laos during the presidency of John F. Kennedy. Using documents from the US National Archives, the Kennedy Library, the Library of Congress, and other public and private collections of primary sources, he examines the diplomacy, intelligence operations, and military actions that led to the 1962 Geneva accords. He also considers the rapid breakdown of that agreement, the response of the Kennedy administration to the collapse of the Geneva solution, and the consequences of that response not only for Laos but also for Vietnam. | |
