Congrats to @dsuisman.bsky.social. I had the privilege to read this early on and it's a superb book. Highly recommend for those teaching about the relationships between war and society.

Why did the United States lose the war in Vietnam? Apparently because GEN Westmoreland couldn't "keep an eye on things" while Spider-Man's friend Flash Thompson was home on R&R.

Next 5 on the pro reading list. Benton is super on how we talk about war. Check out @jamesgrahamwilson.bsky.social. A terrific Cold War read! As is Linn's social history of the 1950s army. Some great essays in Isaac & Bell on the "idea of the Cold War." Review forthcoming on the 'Nam.
