Reviews

[Brian · Rating 3 out of 5]

Walter Lippmann was a major journalistic force in mid-twentieth century America. These interviews are most interesting for his perspective on LBJ both before assuming the presidency, immediately after, and by early 1965, when Vietnam began to engulf him. Lippmann is incisive, and while not always right--he could not believe the United States would willingly bog itself down in the oft-advised against Asian land war, for example--I find him most interesting in juxtaposition to someone like I.F. Stone, or Chomsky, Zinn, etc.
