Pentagon study recounts Johnson era air war and troop debates
The analysis details Johnson choices from Feb 1967 to 1968, showing air strikes deepening, Westmoreland asking for 200,000 more troops, and internal clashes between military and civilian leaders. It traces McNamara and McNaughton pushes for cutbacks, the May 1967 memos, and the shift toward limited objectives and stalled negotiations in Paris.
