Robert Brigham: Reckless: Henry Kissinger and the Tragedy of Vietnam

Using newly available archival material Robert K. Brigham punctures the myth of Kissinger as an infallible mastermind. Instead, he constructs a portrait of a rash, opportunistic politician whose personal political rivalries and strategic confusion doubled the length of the Vietnam War. Now, perhaps for the first time, we can see the full scale of that tragedy and the machinations that fed it.
