Editorial Reviews

In accounting for the inexorable process that led the United States down the same path that France had traveled before to an unwinnable war, Kahin buttresses his points with the most thorough documentation yet to appear on the inner working of the American decision making establishment. The multiple perspectives that the author provides on seminal events make the Pentagon Papers look like a faded black-and-white movie.
