520 _aThis article explores Thompson's relationship with Kissinger and Nixon and his views on the war in Vietnam from 1969 to 1974. An examination of Thompson's thinking on Vietnam in the Nixon years reveals a theorist whose optimism on US prospects there were based on assumptions about elite and public patience for lengthy wars that were ultimately misplaced.
