The Anti-Lambo
It's pretty well done. Lots of personal stories and perspectives from both sides. I've read a lot but it tends to be all from American perspectives. My Dad was there but we never talk about it in depth.
I am on the 3rd episode (out of 10). The thing that sticks out is watching American leaders get themselves deeper and deeper into it. Their predictions were terrible. Their objectives were unclear. Their intelligence was bad. Their understanding of regional politics was poor.
The way Lyndon Johnson talked about the war in his private communications is casual, careless, simplistic, overtly concerned about politics instead of what should have really mattered. A massively overrated President IMO.
