John F. Kennedy and Vietnam: The Historical Record Versus the Revisionists.

Turner, Thomas R.

New England Journal of History, v52 n2 p58-65 Fall 1995

Criticizes the current historical interpretation (promoted by Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. and Oliver Stone) that President John F. Kennedy intended to withdraw from Vietnam if elected to a second term. Maintains that the preponderance of historical evidence suggests that Kennedy intended to exit Vietnam only after a military victory. (MJP)
