Check out A Bright Shining Lie." It's about John Paul Vann and Viet Nam. Great book.
That's the one the local hard-left idiot, Bob Buzzanco, goes on about in his over-the-air lecture series on the history of Vietnam, the last 2/3's of which he spends gloating over America's loss of the war. One of Buzzanco's favorite texts. Why do you recommend it to Freepers? To "convert" us to the Truth laid down by the Left -- in Fire in the Lake, or in Terzi's onanistic Communist victory-gloat?
