Resort will be had to not only the drafting history of the TRIPs incorporated Berne Conventio (more…)

What happens when a nation loses an important part of its connection with history, when its heritage and even its roots are sacrificed to political expediency? When the offspring of The Greatest Generation out source national service to Other People’s Kids?

Based on primary sources, including the recently declassified holdings of the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Archive, the work focuses upon the formulation, execution and assessments of American policy in Vietnam between the troop deployment decision of July 1965, and President Johnson’s speech of 31st March 1968. While there are few heroes and several villains, it w (more…)
