Ex CIA chief says Viet escalation was a mistake
Former CIA director William Colby argues in his memoir that U S escalation in Vietnam was a misstep. He contends the war should have been conducted at the village level with Vietnamese forces, and criticizes Kennedy and Nixon for pursuing broad military options. Colby cites interviews, decisions, and programs like Phoenix to illustrate how the conflict evolved and why he now views it as unwinnable.
