None So Blind: A Personal Account of the Intelligence Failure in Vietnam
by George W. Allen
"Few Americans knew more about the inner workings of American Vietnam War policy over as long a period of time as Allen did. A WWII navy veteran, Allen went to work as a midlevel civilian defense department intelligence analyst after the war. In 1964, he switched to the CIA, where he served in a similar capacity until his 1979 retirement. Allen spent virtually all of that time in Vietnam and Washington compiling firsthand intelligence about the French and American wars; he tells (what seems like) all in this wide-ranging, illuminating memoir." --Publishers Weekly

Recalling the Vietnam War
"In their reminiscences, leading players in the drama conjure up a fascinating portrait of the causes and consequences of U.S. decisions. What emerges is a rich tapestry where the pressures of global and domestic politics, the implications of a flawed strategy, and the influence of human weakness and moral blindness come together to produce a tragic turning point in the history of U.S. foreign policy." Globetrotter Research Galleries: Institute of International Studies, University of California, Berkeley.

by B.G. Burkett, Glenna Whitley
