  • "A study of the men who came to power during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, and of their leadership of America during the sixties."
  • "David Halberstam's masterpiece, the defining history of the making of the Vietnam tragedy, with a new Foreword by Senator John McCain. Using portraits of America's flawed policy makers and accounts of the forces that drove them, The Best and the Brightest reckons magnificently with the most important abiding question of our country's recent history: Why did America become mired in Vietnam, and why did we lose' As the definitive single-volume answer to that question, this enthralling book has never been superseded. It is an American classic. From the Hardcover edition."
