Want to thank the commentators and everyone for assembling this deeply honor especially to be giving the William Roger lewis in the flesh. We were on the state Department Committee suffering through a lot of bows and arrows back in the decade prior, and i got to know him well and i feel really honored to give a lecture that is in his name.

They had just published their first volume. It was on pocahontas. And issues regarding native American History, they were looking for somebody to do something on foreign relations, he offered me the opportunity to put together the perspectives. These were supposed to be short and concise books, that was the idea

You have wrichb the book with Historical Context of research but also understanding that kissinger knew what we know now. Thats the second wonderful thing about your book is the fact you used neither anachronistic views nor hindsight. I was struck by this in the nixon library, the point you were talking about earlier, tom, the fact they were so obsessed with the 72 election. Youre sitting there going, why are you obsessed . You won every state practically, but they were. You dont have that sense. Its almost a suspense book to read. Whats going to happen . Will vietnam be foretold.
