   The Best and the Brightest

   David Halberstam · at 32:49

   The Best and the Brightest by David Halberstam is a historical account examining the hubris, elitism, and institutional groupthink of American policymakers that led the United States into the Vietnam War.

   Discussed

   “In fact, one of my favorite books is about Vietnam. Uh this what is the best and the brightest. We had the world's greatest minds, you know, sit there and come up with their stat sheets and their ideas behind how to win against North Vietnam.”
