Lessons In Disaster by Gordon M. Goldstein

McGeorge Bundy and the Path to War in Vietnam

Drawing on Bundy’s reflections and Gordon M. Goldstein’s research, the book traces the key misjudgments and policy choices that led to escalation and distills lessons about presidential decision‑making and the limits of American power.
