American rhetoric and the Vietnam War
Well written, for the most part. The theoretical portion is comprehensive while also digestible. The issue-based, practical sections would also earn approval except for ideology-creep and, on more than one occasion, vague generalizations treated as truth. It's somewhat unfair to hold this book to platinum standard because it attempts to do the impossible: capture all of American public policy in a (relatively) short book. The succinctness is appreciated. But most of the issue section should be approached with a healthy skepticism.
