In his televised and widely watched speech to the nation on
November 3, 1969, Pres. Richard M. Nixon introduced a
phrase--"silent majority"--and a policy--Vietnamization of the war
effort--that echo down to the present day. Nixon's appearance on
this night framed the terms in which much of the subsequent civil
conflict and military strategy would be understood.
Rhetorical scholar Karlyn Kohrs Campbell analyzes this critically
important speech in light of the historical context and its
centrality to three other speeches-two earlier and one the
following spring, when the announcement of the US invasion of
Cambodia brought a far different response. She also sheds light on
a discourse that generated much heat in a nation already seriously
divided in its support of the war in Vietnam.
The first single volume dedicated to this speech, this addition to
the distinguished Library of Presidential Rhetoric provides the
speech text, a summary of its context, its rhetorical elements, and
the disciplinary analyses that have developed.
