Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize (Biography)A New York Times bestseller, this “epic and elegant” biography (Wall Street Journal) profoundly recasts our understanding of the Vietnam War.Praised as a “superb scholarly achievement” (Foreign Policy), The Road Not Taken confirms Max Boot’s role as a “master chronicler” (Washington Times) of American military affairs. Through dozens of interviews and never-before-seen documents, Boot rescues Edward Lansdale (1908–1987) from historical ignominy to “restore a sense of proportion” to this “political Svengali, or ‘Lawrence of Asia’ ”(The New Yorker). Boot demonstrates how Lansdale, the man said to be the fictional model for Graham Greene’s The Quiet American, pioneered a “hearts and minds” diplomacy, first in the Philippines and then in Vietnam. Bringing a tragic complexity to Lansdale and a nuanced analysis to his visionary foreign policy, Boot suggests Vietnam could have been different had we only listened.With contemporary reverberations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, The Road Not Taken is a “judicious and absorbing” (New York Times Book Review) biography of lasting historical consequence.

I am half way through this book and have been ambivalent from the start. Unlike some of the other reviewers I have been studying the Vietnam war for over 20 years, and have a large library on the war. If you are looking to understand the causes of the Vietnam debacle, this is not the book. To try to spin Landsdale as a potential savior of the devastating and corrupt policies of the American government and military is plain wrong. Landsdale is not an unrecognized saint. He was an agent of draconian manipulations, even evil. His bizarre career in Operation Mogoose reveals him a much darker figure than revealed here; Boot attempts unsuccessfully to present him in the same light as Neil Sheehan'sironc heroic treatment of John Paul Vann. American foreign and military policy--even in the 1959's-- in Vietnam was a hidden national disaster. Landsdale was an agent on the ground. Graham Greene had it right. To cast him him as an unrecognized hero by the American military and foreign policy establishment just does not fly. As I said I'm half way through. I will finish the book and check in later.
