Considered an American classic, "The Best and the Brightest" is the defining history of the making of the Vietnam tragedy. Using portraits of America''s flawed policy makers and accounts of the forces that drove them, "The Best and the Brightest" reckons magnificently with the most important abiding question of our country''s recent history: Why did America become mired in Vietnam and why did it lose? As the definitive single-volume answer to that question, this enthralling book has never been superseded.
