From the launch of the Shock and Awe invasion in March 2003 through President George W. Bush's declaration of Mission Accomplished two months later, the war in Iraq was meant to demonstrate definitively that the United States had learned the lessons of Vietnam. This new book makes clear that something closer to the opposite is true--that U.S. foreign policy makers have learned little from the past, even as they have been obsessed with the Vietnam Syndrome.
