- Rhetoric of War : Language, Argument, and Policy During the Vietnam War, Paperback by Averch, Harvey A., ISBN 0761824219, ISBN-13 9780761824213, Brand New, Free shipping in the US
Averch, a former RAND Corporation analyst involved with systems analysis of the American war effort in Vietnam, explores the policy models (defined here as strongly held beliefs linked by incomplete and partial logic) used by American government officials to justify both implemented and ignored policy strategies. He aims to establish the connections between policy models to the policy preferences advocated and the actions chosen. He concludes that even if one assumes the correctness of the minimal Cold War objectives of the United States to deter Russian and Chinese interventions in Third World politics, the policy models of American officials relied on dangerously misguided assumptions about how conflict worked in the Third World.
