Product Description:
PATH TO WAR tells the inside story of how "the best and the brightest" advisors in the Johnson administration, including Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and special advisor Clark Clifford, counsel the President in the decisions that will lead to America's deeper and deeper engagement in Vietnam. Torn between those who recommend increased bombing to win, and those who advise a path be found to peace, Johnson watches as his presidency and his nation are torn apart by the deaths of young Americans overseas and the protests of those who remain.
Customer Reviews:
 America's Nightmare retold , 2008-09-07
This story begins with the reason why Vietnam began and how it spiraled out of control. How it began with just a few retaliation strikes and blew up to be a full fledged war. Johnson misled by his advisors and generals believing that to act forcibly would be the only way to stop communism from spreading through southeast Asia. McNamara was the principal drum beater for this course until he realized that the policy could not win. Unfortunately he leaves the cabinet and Johnson has the full brunt of the blame for the war. Concise, beautifully portrayed acting by Michael Gambdon (Johnson)and Alec Baldwin (McNamara)not to mention Donald Sutherland as Johnson's close friend and advisor. For those who like historical movies a must have
