Show Notes

Douglas Kennedy of the U.S. Air Force Academy taught a class on Vietnam's War's "Operation Rolling Thunder" air campaign, which took place from 1965-68. He described goals of the campaign, such as destroying North Vietnam's transportation system, but also discussed the limitations put in place to avoid antagonizing other communist powers such as the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China.
