| | Dereliction of Duty |
 | | H.R. McMaster is the author of Dereliction of Duty: Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies That Led to Vietnam, published last May by HarperCollins. |
 | | His book, which he researched and wrote on sabbatical, is extraordinary-if not unprecedented-in the degree of attention, credibility, and influence it has achieved among military leaders and professionals. |
 | | The Chiefs were loyal to their services more than they were, I think, to their duties as principal military advisers. |
