Cherwitz, Richard A. – Western Speech Communication, 1978
Examines President Johnson's speeches of August fourth and fifth in 1964. The effects of the speeches are analyzed to show support for the propositions that Johnson's rhetoric created an international crisis and that it limited the foreign policy alternatives of the United States in Vietnam. (JMF)
