Ryan Holiday The Daily Stoic · Jun 2024 Why people recommend it
Dereliction of Duty by H. R. McMaster is a historical examination of how military leaders failed to provide honest assessments to President Lyndon Johnson regarding the viability of successfully prosecuting the Vietnam War. On The Tucker Carlson Show, Elbridge Colby brought up H. R. McMaster's book to illustrate this exact historical failure of military leadership to give accurate advice to the commander in chief. Later, on an episode of The Daily Stoic, Ryan Holiday also highlighted the book, praising it as an incredible read while discussing presidential advisers and the concept of resignation. The work has resonated broadly among commentators interested in the mechanics of national security, military oversight, and executive decision-making. Podcast guests frequently cite the text to underscore recurring institutional tensions between civilian authorities and military commanders during times of armed conflict, using McMaster's historical analysis to warn modern leaders against similar failures of candor and accountability within the upper echelons of government.
