Andrew L. Johns, assistant professor of history, received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2000.  He joined the faculty at BYU in 2004 after working at Gonzaga University, several universities in Southern California, and the U.S. Department of State.  He teaches courses on U.S. foreign relations, the American experience in Vietnam, World War II, and the United States during the Cold War.

Dr. Johns’s research focuses on 20th century U.S. foreign relations.  The University Press of Kentucky will publish his book, Vietnam’s Second Front:  Domestic Politics, the Republican Party, and the War, in late 2009.  In addition, he is the editor of The Eisenhower Administration, the Third World, and the Globalization of the Cold War (2006), and his research has appeared in the Journal of Cold War Studies, Peace & Change, Presidential Studies Quarterly, Journal of American-East Asian Relations, and Michigan Historical Review.  He is currently working on a book examining Hubert Humphrey’s struggles with the Vietnam conflict, and a biography of John Sherman Cooper.
