Adventures in Two Worlds
Vietnam General and Vermont Professor
Part I
The author discusses his experiences as Chief of Operations Analysis for Westmoreland during the 1966-67 phase of the Vietnam War.
In 1969 he returns to Vietnam as Commanding General Force Artillery and Chief of Staff of Second Field Force, where his final action involves planning the 1970 Cambodian incursion.
Part II
Turning down further promotions, in Part II he pursues a Ph.D. at Princeton on a campus alive with antiwar protest.
We follow him to a tenured professorship at the University of Vermont, where his polling of U.S. generals who had served in Vietnam results in The War Managers, considered a classic book that sets forth their conflicting views on the conduct of that war.
