David Halberstam's masterpiece, the defining history of the making of the Vietnam tragedy, with a new Foreword by Senator John McCain.

"A rich, entertaining, and profound reading experience."--The New York Times

Using portraits of America's flawed policy makers and accounts of the forces that drove them, The Best and the Brightest reckons magnificently with the most important abiding question of our country's recent history: Why did America become mired in Vietnam, and why did we lose? As the definitive single-volume answer to that question, this enthralling book has never been superseded. It is an American classic.

Praise for The Best and the Brightest

"The most comprehensive saga of how America became involved in Vietnam. . . . It is also the Iliad of the American empire and the Odyssey of this nation's search for its idealistic soul. The Best and the Brightest is almost like watching an Alfred Hitchcock thriller."--The Boston Globe

"Deeply moving . . . We cannot help but feel the compelling power of this narrative. . . . Dramatic and tragic, a chain of events overwhelming in their force, a distant war embodying illusions and myths, terror and violence, confusions and courage, blindness, pride, and arrogance."--Los Angeles Times

"A fascinating tale of folly and self-deception . . . An] absorbing, detailed, and devastatingly caustic tale of Washington in the days of the Caesars."--The Washington Post Book World

"Seductively readable . . . It is a staggeringly ambitious undertaking that is fully matched by Halberstam's performance. . . . This is in all ways an admirable and necessary book."--Newsweek

"A story every American should read."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch

BEST NON TOXIC SUNSCREEN
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
AMAZINGGGGG!!!!!!! Super light weight, no sunscreen smell, barely smells slightly like citrus , moisturizing, it’s just truly perfect like I can’t express enough and it’s most likely good on the Yuka app because it has super clean ingredients. Not sponsored just someone who searched high and low for a good quality sunscreen that’s not toxic. Seriously this sruff is amazing

Excellent
Size: 2.12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
So good I have re ordered for family. It goes on lite and gets clear almost immediately. Skin feels great with it on. Lightly moisturized and not greasy or sticky. Little to no scent.

Best I've tried in awhile
Size: 2.12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I'm not allergic to it & didn't burn! Wasn't greasy, easy to apply. Worked great for face, neck, chest and arms. Wore for a week straight. Didn't clog pores or cause skin issues. Worked great as a sunscreen. Stayed solid enough in FL heat that TSA didn't confiscate. Double bonus

Great sunscreen

This is the creamiest best sunscreen ever. It's not greasy and it feels like it's definitely moisturizing and goes on super smoothly.
