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 As the definitive single-volume answer to that question, this enthralling book has never been superseded.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

They fit true to size and have excellent traction, making them feel very secure and slip-resistant.
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Black White Snake Print
I would buy these sandals in every color. The sole is very sturdy and supportive, not flimsy at all, which makes them super comfortable for all-day wear. The thong strap is soft and doesn’t rub or hurt between my toes like some sandals do. They fit true to size and have excellent traction, making them feel very secure and slip-resistant while walking. Overall, these are stylish, comfortable, and surprisingly well-made for everyday use.

Pleasantly surprised by these nice flip flops
Size: 8 Wide, Color: Dusty Rose
I was pleasantly surprised by these flip flops. I wear an 8 in womens and they fit perfectly. I also have pretty wide feet and ordered a wide size and they fit perfectly that way too. They seem durable, are comfortable and wear nicely but I am disappointed that they already have 2 small spots where the material is wearing already. I will say I wear these a lot, nearly every day for a few hours at least, sometimes more, so maybe that's why they have the 2 spots of wear already. Overall I'm happy with these!

A little snug in the straps
Size: 13, Color: Light Brown Leopard
These are cute; but the straps are kind of tight. I do have large (size 13) feet, but they’re not fat feet, so the straps being tight was a bit of a surprise.
That being said, they’re cute and good quality for the price! I’ll likely order a couple more pair and hope they stretch out with regular wear!

Nice at first but peeled later
Size: 7 Wide, Color: Dark Brown
The item looks gorgeous and was comfortable, however, after getting some water on it, and walking a bunch, the material started peeling up. I now may need to toss them.
