Lessons in Disaster: McGeorge Bundy and the Path to War in Vietnam

Intellectually challenging and hard to put down

The reviews of this book by Henry Kissinger in Newsweek and by Richard Holbrooke in The New York Times give one a good sense for the seriousness of its ideas and its relevancy to current events. The real surprise about this book is how readable and accessible it is. The accolades "intellectually challenging" and "hard to put down" are rarely used to describe the same book, but the author manages both brilliantly. This is a highly satisfying read.

Good enough!

It's only good. I had great expectations about it but it's merely informative and lack scientific organization.
Anyway is a source of Vietnam War decision making knowledge.
