BOMBING NORTH VIETNAM: AN APPRAISAL OF ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL EFFECTS,

Abstract

An assessment is made of the U.S. air offensive against North Vietnam in terms of (1) its impact on the North Vietnamese economic and political structure, and (2) its value as a coercive force in inducing the North Vietnamese government to agree to negotiations. North Vietnamese reaction to the bombings is discussed, and implications for U.S. policy are examined. (Author)
