Its incredible but there has been a long time movement to somehow rewrite the history of the Indochina conflict. I wrote about this in the discussion of the completely forgettable Burns/Novick PBS disappointment.
Now comes Max "Mr CFR" Boot. Right in the steps of the likes of Lewis Sorley who Burns and Novick interviewed for their show.
See, the line goes, we actually could have won. We just did not follow the right tactics. Lansdale had the right idea and somehow Kennedy made a mistake not making him the ambassador.
This is the guy who was so instrumental in propping up Diem! And rigging elections for him.
Sick.
I could not bring myself to read this book after Burns Novick, so give thanks to Mr Bass.
