Description:
Path To War tells the inside story of how 'the best and the brightest' advisors in the Johnson administration, including Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and special advisor Clark Clifford, counsel the President in the decisions that will lead to American's deeper and deeper engagement in Vietnam. Torn between those who recommend increased bombing to win, and those who advise a path be found to peace, Johnson watches as his presidency and his nation are also torn apart by the deaths of young Americans overseas and the protests of those who remain.
