Associating Evil | LBJ & Ho Chi Minh

As we look at villains in history, we want to look at actions and their effects. The policies of Lyndon Baines Johnson and Ho Chi Minh were the reflection of two leaders operating in different contexts. Though the method by which they exercised their intentions was different, the root of their “why” is in question.

Join us as we look at both the intention and result from each leader by examining comparisons of policy during their tenure. The context of culture may require different methods for enacting said policies, but the intentions and subsequent outcomes show the result. We examine those today.
