Containment and Credibility reviewed in the Library Journal



The Library Journal just published a review of Pat Proctor's third book, Containment and Credibility: The Ideology and Deception that Plunged America into the Vietnam War in its October 1 issue. Here's an excerpt:

“Historians will find in this work a fresh take on the Vietnam War, as well as its warnings for current conflicts”

Containment and Credibility reviewed in Publishers Weekly




“What is new [in Containment and Credibility] is Proctor’s sound conclusion that the Vietnam War containment and credibility framework has had a lasting influence on U.S. foreign policy. Today’s 'War on Terror,' he says, is still being fought with a Cold War-era foreign policy ideology, which could be a recipe for 'a century of costly and fruitless warfare across the globe.'”
