Over as Far as America Is Concerned: Gerald R. Ford and the Latter Years of the Vietnam War

Christopher Scott Yelonek

Over as Far as America is Concerned focuses on the decision President Gerald R. Ford faced in the latter years of the Vietnam War. On whether or not to launch a bombing campaign. A decision could have reintroduced American combat forces into the Vietnam War. By analyzing the American political landscape of the mid-1970s, the situation of the Vietnam War in the post-1968 Tet Offensive period, and the Cold War politics of the 1970s to understand why President Ford chose not to launch a bombing campaign. Instead, President Ford made the choice of evacuating as many people as possible in April 1975. Because of the political realities his presidency faced, President Ford chose to garner support for his top priorities of his Administration.
