Many books have been written on the tragic decisions regarding Vietnam made by the young stars of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. Yet despite millions of words of analysis and reflection, no historian has been able to explain why such decent, brilliant, and previously successful men stumbled so badly, until now.
Thoroughly enjoyed the book, though at times the cognitive theory overlay on the actions of Macnamara, Johnson, et al seemed a bit forced. Good advice for current and future leaders.
