Summary of Jeffrey E. Garten's Three Days at Camp David

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 When Nixon took office, America had been fighting for the past several years to defend South Vietnam from being taken over by the Communist regime of North Vietnam, which itself was supported by China and the Soviet Union. America’s goal was to make sure South Vietnam and its neighbors in Southeast Asia did not fall into the Communist camp.

#2 In his first two years in office, Nixon faced many challenges. He began working on arms control agreements with the Soviet Union and the opening of relations between the United States and China. But he would not produce any real breakthroughs until 1971.

#3 The New Isolationism was a negative congressional and public reaction to the tragic and unwinnable Vietnam War. It stemmed from the desire to bring back all troops stationed in Western Europe, as well as reduce American defenses abroad.

#4 Nixon knew that to keep isolationism and protectionism at bay and respond effectively to intensifying globalization, he needed to change America’s foreign policy.
