Established in 1955 as a private advocacy group, the American
Friends of Vietnam worked to influence U.S. attitudes and policies
toward Vietnam for nearly two decades. AFV members wrote articles,
gave speeches, sponsored aid drives, and forged ties with
journalists, academics, and government officials in an effort to
generate American assistance for South Vietnam. In The Vietnam
Lobby, Joseph Morgan shifts the focus away from the much-examined
antiwar demonstrations that took place in America to concentrate
instead on the actions of those who endorsed U.S. intervention in
Vietnam. Drawing on a wide range of documentary sources, Morgan
presents a comprehensive study of the AFV and its activities. He
traces the group's establishment and growth, examines its internal
organization and politics, and, ultimately, evaluates its
effectiveness in guiding government policy and public opinion.
Morgan also assesses the charges of antiwar critics who claimed the
AFV exerted an excessive, perhaps disastrous, influence in shaping
America's Vietnam policy. Finally, he offers insights into the
thinking of those who believed that the United States had the
unique ability--even the obligation--to help shape Vietnam's
future. A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions
