Abridged edition: 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?

Brutally abridged. Fascinating book, however.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
More of the text! It's not a pocketbook. It's like they decided to read every 8th page.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Best and the Brightest?
Hard to tell. The abridgement is very brutal.
What about David Clennon’s performance did you like?
Clear, fluid, slightly irritating attempts at accents (hint of Kennedy when it's quoting Kennedy, insulting French accent when quoting a Frenchman, etc. etc.)
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Best and the Brightest?
None! Give me the text!
Any additional comments?
I want all the detail. The book is five hundred pages long. The audiobook is about as long as The Great Gatsby.
