Summary:

Former Republican Congressman John LeBoutillier criticizes current policies toward Vietnam and forcefully argues for the normalization of relations with Hanoi. He exposes what he terms the hypocrisy of present U.S. policy toward its former foe and reveals Oval Office secrets about the abandonment of hundreds of American prisoners of war. LeBoutillier counters what he calls a handful of super-conservative Republicans who continue to preach the policy of Vietnam isolation. Vietnam Now clearly demonstrates the advantages of normalized relations, including a severe weakening of Soviet influence throughout Southeast Asia and a reassertion of American economic and diplomatic power in the world's most rapidly growing region.
