Podhoretz concludes we were in Vietnam for idealistic reasons, though it was imprudent to attempt what we did. I sturdily supported our Vietnam policy until 1968, when I became more dovish--but my heart was never really in my dovishness, though despising Nixon as I did I could be easy about opposing things he did. But this book is so rightist that it turned me off some, too. But the book is a good antidote to the liberal line on Vietnam. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Norman Podhoretz retells the story of how and why the United States went to war in Vietnam and how and why it was driven out. Highlighting the major turning points of the war, Podhoretz takes us on a fascinating journey through the entire series of ideas, policies and decisions that led to America's escalating involvement and eventual defeat. He also reviews the ideas of people who called those decisions immoral or criminal, as well as the arguments of those who at first supported the war and then turned against it.
