"The Road Not Taken" is an engaging biography of CIA operative Edward Lansdale that explores his innovative "hearts and mind" diplomacy in the Philippines and Vietnam, contrasting it with broader U.S. military strategies. Drawing on exclusive interviews and previously unseen documents, historian Max Boot presents a nuanced portrait of Lansdale's career and the complex decisions that shaped American involvement in Vietnam. The book offers a thought-provoking reevaluation of history, highlighting how different approaches might have altered the course of events.
