The Best and the Brightest reviewed in 1960s Vietnam study
A critical look at David Halberstam's The Best and the Brightest, detailing how the book traces Vietnam War decisions. The review examines Halberstam's focus on Kennedys and Johnsons administrations, adviser dynamics, and the push toward troop escalation driven by anti-Communist rhetoric and past misjudgments. The critic notes the book's strong use of individual portraits to explain policy outcomes.
