About the author

Norman Harold Podhoretz was an American magazine editor, writer, and conservative political commentator. He described his views as "paleo-neoconservative", but only "because [he'd] been one for so long". He was a writer for Commentary magazine, and served as the publication's editor-in-chief from 1960 to 1995.

Podhoretz was a member of the executive committee of the Writers and Artists for Peace in the Middle East, a pro-Israel group.

Reviews

[Joe Robertson]

This was a great book! It should be required reading for anyone studying the Viet Nam War. It is a travesty how history has been re-written by the liberals/progressives both inside and outside of America. I highly recommend this book.

An interesting read for my Vietnam war essay, even though I am not a neoconservative.

[April Strickland]

Americans are badly in need of this education still today!
