He informed Red China, through India's neutralist Prime Minister Nehru, that it would have to conclude the Panmunjom talks or risk an all-out U.S. drive to win the war. Red China signed. Dulles was improvising, experimenting, learning as he went along. His next move: Indo-China. First, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Radford recommended U.S. naval air strikes to help the beleaguered French, but Dulles was against...
