This doctrine of graduated pressure reflected the influence of nuclear strategy theorists who had developed concepts of controlled escalation during the Cold War, adapted now to conventional warfare in Southeast Asia where American policymakers believed they could fine-tune military pressure to achieve specific political objectives. The strategic architects of Rolling Thunder, including Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and his team of systems analysts, approached the bombing campaign with the confidence that modern management techniques and technological superiority could solve the political problems of Vietnam through the systematic application of carefully measured force.</p><p>The political context that gave birth to Rolling Thunder was shaped by the deteriorating situation in South Vietnam during 1964 and early 1965, as the government of South Vietnam teetered on the brink of collapse while Viet Cong forces gained strength and territory throughout the countryside. President Lyndon Johnson faced mounting pressure from military advisors and congressional hawks who argued that only decisive military action could prevent communist victory in Southeast Asia, while also confronting domestic political considerations that made massive ground force deployment politically risky.</p>...7267373Operation Rolling Thunder5858https://www.gandhi.com.mx/operation-rolling-thunder-9798318489372/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7287064/image.jpg?v=638889831749070000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro20259798318489372_W3siaWQiOiIxODg5YjBmNS1hZWVkLTRlOTQtOWE0ZS0wYWY3OGQxNjVlZmEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjU4LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo1OCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMjVUMTM6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZSwiaXNFbGlnaWJsZUZvckNyZWRpdFRyaWFsIjp0cnVlLCJjcmVkaXRQdXJjaGFzZVByaWNlIjoxfV0=9798318489372_<p>This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.</p><p>The conception of Operation Rolling Thunder in the early months of 1965 represented the culmination of strategic thinking that viewed air power as a precise instrument of political persuasion rather than merely a tool of military destruction, embodying the belief that carefully calibrated bombing campaigns could convince North Vietnam to abandon its support for insurgency in South Vietnam without provoking the kind of massive retaliation that might escalate into global conflict.
