This text is an examination of the policy of the US administration of Jimmy Carter towards Vietnam between 1977 and 1980. The study focuses on the attempt of the Carter administration to normalize relations with Vietnam and the reasons for the failure of the effort. Using a belief systems approach to explain the policy choices of key decision-makers, the book presents an explanation of the policy in question, and of the decision to abandon the attempt to normalize relations at the end of 1978.
