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 we lose? As the definitive single-volume answer to that question, this enthralling book has never been superseded. It is an American classic."
