I'm currently reading "A Bright Shinning Lie" a fantastic novel about Vietnam war and a great very great man. This interview enlights a bit more this extraordinary life. Congratulations

@emzyk Too bad that both Ellsberg's & Sheehan's publications, leave out THE critical component of this conflict. That would be the BANKERS & CIA dividing up Indochina into mutually destructive combatant entities that did not exist prior to their intervention, for the object of plundering resources (read: gold & heroin, TONS of heroin), enslavement and racist extermination.
-
The interviewer’s comments about Vann’s use of B52 strikes around Kontum, is a rude mischaracterization. Those were heavy bomber strikes against TACTICAL maneuvering PAVN units. It was a genius application of operational echelon airpower, utilized as assistance to ARVN groundforces.

its not pronounced she-han just saying

Great resource for the second half of a US History survey course.
-
Excellent interview and a nice supplement to my current reading of Daniel Ellsberg's memoir Secrets. Highly recommend both.

Thank you for posting this excellent discussion with Neil Sheehan. I've just started reading 'A Bright Shining Lie' and this is really good background information. Thanks again!

This is a more of a conversation than an interview. Watch it and you will get a fine precis of John Paul Vann and Neli Sheehan's reportage.
