Wow, I really enjoyed this book. I was born in the 60s and know little about Vietnam and don't know anyone who served. But reading this book I could definitely see how easily it corrupted everyone. There was one section about the differences between what went up the chain of command as intelligence and how it came back down as policy that was very striking.
