In 1971, however, he appeared on television to decry the doomed war effort in Vietnam. From Korea to Berlin, from the Cuban missile crisis to Vietnam, Hackworth's story is that of an exemplary patriot, played out against the backdrop of the changing fortunes of America and the American military. It is also a stunning indictment of the Pentagon's fundamental misunderstanding of the Vietnam conflict and of the bureaucracy of self-interest that fueled the war. With About Face, Hackworth has written what many Vietnam veterans have called the most important book of their generation"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Hackworth, David H. 610 10 $a United States. $b Army $x Biography. 610 10 $a United States. $b Army. 650 8 $a Soldiers $x Biography. 650 8 $a Korean War, 1950-1953 $v Personal narratives. 700 1 $a Sherman, Julie. 941 $a 1 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20211027010209.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2CB8D75636EB11EC814B3E7839ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JINInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
