bookshelves: history
I tend not to read modern history, preferring to let the emotions of events die out before I trust authors to analyze and interpret those events more rationally. This was an exception, partly because I like the work that David Halberstam does in other books I've read like The Teammates A Portrait of a Friendship and The Coldest Winter American and the Korean War. The Best and the Brightest is primarily about the decision making and, even more so, the decision makers, that led to our full military involvement in Vietnam. Interesting accounts from someone who was a journalist for the New York Times during the war, about people that my generation doesn't hear much about. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77889970 Hunting Eichmann: How a Band of Survivors and a Young Spy Agency Chased Down the World's Most Notorious Nazi (Audio CD) by Neal Bascomb
