- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The story of the man who helped bring down Richard Nixon and bring an end to the Vietnam War. This is an amazing book detailing the time he spent in Vietnam and researching for the Rand Corporation. What he finds is scandalous - the government was deceiving us and engaging in a massive cover-up that not only cost taxpayer dollars but wrought a horrible price in human life in Indochina. A hero for our times who made "the truth shall set us" free a war cry.
