In this important new book, David Schmitz deftly describes how Richard Nixon's 'victory strategy' evolved during his first two years as president, and details why that policy disintegrated in the wake of the failure to achieve a military victory, the administration's desire to focus on the wider Cold War, and the president's preoccupation with domestic political considerations. Based on impressive research in recently declassified documents and engagement with the vast secondary literature, this is a concise, insightful, and thought-provoking addition to the scholarship on Nixon and his role in the denouement of the U.S. experience in Vietnam. -- Andrew Johns, Brigham Young University, Author of Vietnam's Second Front: Domestic Politics, the Republican Party, and the War
