Times of change: The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution

What is the main thesis of the essay? That the attack on US ships may have been a lie to start the war.

What was the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution? The approval to defend U.S. ships in that area.

What evidence does the author give to support his thesis? The president didn't take an oath.

How does this link to the theme of the first reading, “A Dubious Crusade”? That there is doubt.
