A Bright, Shining Lie: John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam by Neil Sheehan
4.0
An immense amount of research
Well written description of principally of 3 things. First this was largely a biography of the principal character in the book, John Paul Vann. Following him from childhood and into his service in world war two, Korea and Vietnam secondly it provides a very detailed description of the Korean war largely from vann's perspective. Lastly the main focus of the book is on Vietnam again from the perspective of Vann
