The administration's response ignited a series of events that dealt a massive blow to American prestige across the globe, resulting in the deaths of over fifty-eight thousand American soldiers and turning hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese citizens into refugees. This history of Franco-American relations during the Kennedy presidency explores how and why France and the US disagreed over the proper western strategy for the Vietnam War.Studies in conflict, diplomacy, and peace.Kentucky scholarship online.Vietnam War, 1961-1975United StatesUnited StatesForeign relationsFranceFranceForeign relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesForeign relations1953-1961United StatesForeign relations1961-1963Vietnam War, 1961-1975959.70432McLaughlin Sean J.1978-1470009StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910793667103321JFK and de Gaulle3681649UNINA
