Abstract

And for all of Johnson's proclamations that he was continuing Kennedy's agenda, Lawrence demonstrates repeatedly that the Johnson administration broke with its predecessor - all the more interesting since so much of Kennedy's foreign policy establishment remained in place well into Johnson's presidency. Historians, like others who contemplate the past, frequently use decades as if they were meaningful categories of human experience: the quiescent fifties, the radical sixties, the "me" decade in the seventies, etc. In other words, Lawrence shows how much U.S. foreign policy changed, in the Johnson years, to "prefigure" the Nixon Doctrine (306).
