Similar to other \u003ci\u003eForeign Relations\u003c\/i\u003e volumes, this collection of documents emphasizes the formation of policy over day-to-day diplomacy. Several themes dominated U.S. policy and policy objectives in Indochina during the period: the relationship between force and diplomacy, the struggle between the President and Congress in the formation and implementation of U.S. policy, U.S. credibility in the world, and the limits of American power. These themes dictated the selection of documents in this volume. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume concludes with documentation covering the May 1975 seizure by Cambodia of the \u003ci\u003eSS Mayaguez\u003c\/i\u003e and the successful recovery by U.S. forces of the ship and its crew. The documents cover the crisis deliberations in Washington among civilian and military officials that led to President Ford's decision to use military force to recover the ship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Related products: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e International \u0026amp; Foreign Affairs resources collection can be found here: https: \/\/bookstore.gpo.gov\/catalog\/international-foreign-affairs\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Government Publications Office\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0160858240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780160858246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Government Printing Office\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.40w x 2.50d","brand":"Government Publications Office","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47036555788543,"sku":"9780160858246","price":118.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1336e5fb-0757-43fd-b6c0-43e022350d7c.jpg?v=1752637927","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/foreign-relations-of-the-united-government-publications-office-9780160858246","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
