About this title: A biography of the two Bundy brothers, McGeorge and William, who played key roles in foreign policy decision-making during the Cold War. William Bundy worked for the CIA.; McGeorge had a career in academia and was dean of Harvard College before being selected by President Kennedy to serve as national security advisor. Later, he became head of the Ford Foundation. Raised in Boston and educated at good schools, both brothers were liberals and considered "the best and the brightest." Kai Bird examines their lives and their roles as architects of U.S. policy during the Vietnam War.

"This is an excellent book for many reasons least of which it is well written. The Bundy Brothers were brilliant and exceptionally well educated but for all their knowledge and training they were absolutely tone deaf to any culture other than that of New England and by extension America. As a result they were totally unable to understand the interests of Southeast Asians. All of which lead to the debacle of Viet Nam."
