    About this ebook

    The Road Not Taken: Edward Lansdale and the American Tragedy in Vietnam by Max Boot | Book Summary | Abbey Beathan

    (Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book.)

    An epic biography of the legendary CIA operative Edward Lansdale. Discover the secrets of this man's life and his story in Vietnam.

    Witness the amazing tale of the man who pioneered a diplomatic approach in the Philippines and then in Vietnam. A truly beautiful vision that is all about swaying the enemy through intellectual and emotional solutions instead of using brute force. However, his train of thoughts was crushed by America's giant military bureaucracy. Definitely an breathtaking biography that not only shows you the life of a great man but also a look into America's dark side.

    (Note: This summary is wholly written and published by Abbey Beathan. It is not affiliated with the original author in any way)

    "The war's loss would have been less painful all around if Lansdale's advice had been heeded." – Max Boot

    With a ton of interviews and documents that have never been seen before (including love letters), The Road Not Taken takes an unabridged look into Edward Lansdale life so you are able to learn things about the Vietnam War and the man himself that you wouldn't have been capable of knowing otherwise.

    The heart-wrecking story of the man who had a wiser vision of how the Vietnam War should've been handled.

    P.S. The Road Not Taken is a touching biography of a man who marked America's history with his brilliance and kind heart.

    P.P.S. It was Albert Einstein who famously said that once you stop learning, you start dying. It was Bill Gates who said that he would want the ability to read faster if he could only have one superpower in this world.

    • 5/5
      The Road Not Taken is a big book about the life and times of the notorious Ed Lansdale that no serious addict of the Philippine experience or Vietnam War can afford to overlook.
    • 5/5
      The book proves that history is a series of accidents and it is the rare situation where the great man is in the right place at the right time to gain and keep the power to affect decision making. Lansdale had it early on but it slipped away.
