Panelists talked about the topic “How We Got In: The United States, Asia, and Vietnam.” Allen Weinstein moderated the panel which focused on U.S. involvement in Vietnam and Asia from the turn of the century to entrance into war. They also talked about material held by presidential libraries relating to U.S. strategic and economic interests in Asia, the end of colonial rule in French Indochina, and perceptions of the communist threat throughout Asia and the Pacific Rim. Following their remarks they answered questions from the audience.

“Vietnam and the Presidency” was the first national conference sponsored by all the presidential libraries, from Hoover to Clinton, and the National Archives. Leading historians, key policymakers of the era, and journalists who covered the war examined the antecedents of the war, presidential decision-making, public opinion, lessons learned, and the influence of the Vietnam experience on subsequent U.S. foreign policy. close
