This book provides the details behind the Pentagon Papers. The author's interviews with key players and subsequent analysis provides a view of how we got into Vietnam and is nothing short of shocking. If this Information would have been available to the public in 1965, there wouldn't have been a Vietnam war and the loss of 54 thousand American lives and hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese. My view of the war was changed forever.

A great copy, delivered on time. A great history of American politics and foreign policy in the 40s-60s. Eventhough Halberstam is left of center, he's my favorite historian.
