- W4246036877 abstract "When Robert Buzzanco was researching this book, he tells us in his acknowledgments, he was invited to lunch at the “O Club” by Jack Shumlinson, the Marines’ senior historian of the Vietnam War. I doubt that he will be invited back. While Masters of War emphatically does not blame the military for the disasters of Vietnam, its arguments are unlikely to sit well with the brass. Never mind that Buzzanco reports that his son bears the middle name “Sandino” and implies that the family will be content to have him turn out like Abbie Hoffman. Focus instead on Buzzanco's detailed description of the disagreements between officers who fought the war. Buzzanco places these men in one or more of five categories: dissenters, like Generals Matthew Ridgway, James Gavin, and David Shoup, who believed that the United States could not win in Vietnam and thus opposed intervention, doubters (General J. Lawton Collins, Admiral Harry Felt), who criticized U.S. military involvement while nevertheless accepting the premise that a non-Communist South Vietnam must be preserved; critics, including Maxwell Taylor, Army chief Harold K. Johnson, the Marine Victor Krulak, and John Paul Vann, who blasted the strategy of attrition, urging instead greater reliance on counterinsurgency warfare and in most cases a lavish use of air power; politicos – all the critics, plus Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) chair Earle Wheeler, Admiral U.S. Grant Sharp, and William Westmoreland – who were pessimistic that the United States would succeed in Vietnam but played politics by pressing the White House for escalations that they knew were impossible, in order to place responsibility for failure on civilian policymakers; and true believers in the war and the prospects for South Vietnam's success, men like Generals Paul Harkins and William DePuy, and Sharp and Westmoreland again (pp. 8–11). Buzzanco's typology of leading officers suggests that they had disagreements so serious as to cripple strategy." @default.
