Description	An original political cartoon drawing created by Jack Knox, the Nashville Banner editorial cartoonist from the mid-1940s to the early 1970s. The two frames depict President Lyndon Baines Johnson with an iron glove ("For North Vietnam Aggression") and with a silk glove ("For policy critics at home"). In 1965, the Communist regime in Hanoi increased armed attacks and a brutal campaign of terror against South Vietnam. In response, the United States State Department released a report assailing the North Vietnamese aggression. President Johnson was often criticized for his escalation of American involvement in the Vietnam War, and his popular standing eroded over the use of military force. Forms part of the Jack Knox Political Cartoon Collection. 1 original cartoon drawing : b & w ; 14 x 18.5 in.
