Abstract

The U.S. participation in Vietnam is, and will remain for generations, the most traumatic occurrence in our national life. This critique of David Halberstam's book, The Best and the Brightest, helps to illuminate the processes which shaped U.S. policy in Vietnam and, indeed, continue to shape policy today.
