I spent most of my summer reading Neil Sheehan's A Bright Shining Lie: John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam (1988), and it deserved more rumination than normal and a few more potential readers so I shared it with another blog that I like: Tropics of Meta. Check out the blog and my essay "Dog Day Classics: My Vietnam Vacation With John Paul Vann," which can be found here.
