The Color Of Truth : McGeorge Bundy And William Bundy, Brothers In Arms : A Biography

Attribution
Kai Bird
Publication Details
Book, Simon & Schuster, 1998
Description
The Color of Truth is the definitive biography of McGeorge Bundy and William Bundy, two of “the best and the brightest” who advised presidents about peace and war during the most dangerous years of the Cold War. At every stage of the war — from the assassination of South Vietnamese president Diem in 1963 to the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964, from the bombing campaign of Operation Rolling Thunder to President Johnson’s July 1965 decision to send hundreds of thousands of U.S. combat troops to Vietnam — the Bundy brothers were present, urging a policy of gradual escalation. Long after Johnson had dismissed their warning that Vietnam could become a “white man’s war” on the Asian mainland, the Bundys remained loyal to their liberal president, who was determined not to allow right-wing critics to accuse him of losing another Asian country to communism. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
