RaveThe National Book ReviewAn intricate study of how the Vietnam War came to be. To a remarkable degree it is a book starring its sources ... Logevall, with a storyteller’s voice, takes us step by fatal step from the end of World War II through the ravages of the Vietnam War ... Perhaps it is not needed, but there is little in Embers of War on the increasing opposition to the war on the American home front.
Brenda Wineapple
PositiveThe National Book Review... a fine book ... an important contribution to the flourishing field of Reconstruction history ... True to her title, Wineapple gives us richly etched portraits of the impeachers who mounted the attack ... In the end, Wineapple offers a mixed review of the Johnson imbroglio.
