Status Updates From Most Dangerous: Daniel Ells...

Big turn of events. Ellsburg got caught snooping and was “demoted”. He didn’t like his new position son” he headed to Vietnam, where he experienced what was really going on versus reading about it in cables. He also proposed then later broke up with Marx. He struggles with the inhumanity of war versus the necessity of fighting communism.

Right away the book captured my attention, with the introduction of Hunt and Liddy. I recognized their names from the HBO series White House Plumbers. I have learned a lot of interesting history already from this book, like how Vietnam was an Allie during World War II but then Ho Chi Minh and his communist ambitions became the enemy. I also did not realize Indochina was a French colony.
