    My new book PRESIDENTS OF WAR reveals how LBJ secretly shut down a plan to use nuclear weapons in Vietnam—here a New York Times story about this, just posted, by the great David Sanger:https://nyti.ms/2NrzSdW

        Lyndon had the best natural political instincts of any president since Lincoln, or at least FDR. Why he ignored them when they flashed red over Vietnam is a tragedy.

        Another reason why my view of LBJ has gone from full on protest (my early days) to deep appreciation as I put aside my prejudice on the Vietnam War. This man truly did great things for our country. He deserves much more credit than he's given.

        It would have been insane to keep US nuclear weapons in a country at war where they could be exposed to capture, when we had the capability to easily drop one from air bases in the Philippines or Japan, or fire one from a sub offshore.

        A few years ago Daniel Ellsberg told a reunion of anti-war activists at Stanford the Pres. feared greater protests if nukes were used. I’m wondering if this was the same episode?

        LBJ has to know this would be a consideration especially after he lied about Tonkin to escalate and control the war. And people say Bush lies about WMD!

        Do American commanders have the power to move and ready nuclear weapons?
