		SHEEHAN: The wasted gallantry, the sacrifice, in vain; provided, of course, we don't draw some wisdom from it, but the tragedy of it all is what comes to mind, the inevitability of it because it was a war toward which we were headed as a nation.
		SHEEHAN: That's General Harkins here, who is the commanding general in Vietnam in '62-'63, and next to him is General Wheeler, the late General Wheeler, who was, at that time, chief of staff of the Army when that photo was taken in '63 and later became chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
		SHEEHAN: Was a lieutenant colonel and the adviser to the Vietnamese division in the northern Mekong Delta.

		NEIL SHEEHAN: It's been wonderful for me. When you're a reporter, you never believe anything's going to happen until it happens, and the reception has been just marvelous for me. I pinch myself all the time.
		SHEEHAN: That was quite extraordinary because, first of all, you have a reading the night before, in which all the finalists read, and then you go to a dinner and they have two categories, fiction and non-fiction.
		SHEEHAN: I do deal in the book with the fact that the Eisenhower administration, as far as the Geneva Accords were concerned, sought to turn the provisional military demarcation line up there on the DMZ, the 17th parallel, into a permanent frontier and to create a separate South Vietnam.

	Vietnam War: Neil Sheehan
		Sheehan analyzes both broad strategies and small case studies in order to tell how Vietnamese revolutionaries defeated the Amerikan military, despite the latter's immense advantage in technology and sheer firepower.
		For example, Sheehan devotes one whole chapter to the battle of Ap Bac, where southern Vietnamese guerrillas with no heavy weapons defeated a force three times their size, shooting down several Amerikan helicopters and routing a column of armored vehicles along the way.
		John Paul Vann, the Amerikan whose life Sheehan follows, was disgusted with the corruption of the south Vietnamese government and the callous disregard the Amerikan military showed for the life of the civilian population.

	[No title]
		Neil Sheehan argues, and many Vietnam hands likely would agree that, next to the American ambassador and the commanding general of U.S. forces, Vann was the best known American in Vietnam.
		Sheehan would further assert, and on this point he likely would encounter some disagreement, that the nature of Vann's service, the efforts he undertook to further American objectives, and the forces that drove him to approach his duties in the manner he did, constituted the quintessence of the entire United States effort in South Vietnam.
		Sheehan's Vann missed the significance of his success: "He did not see that in having to assume total control at the moment of crisis, he had proved the Saigon regime had no will of its own to survive" (784).

		The highly leveraged ideological intensity of a Neil Sheehan serves as elemental and storied contrast.
		Also, if you possess the stamina and intellectual integrity to compare the two versions, see the version published in the NYT (see Amazon, etc.) vs. the Senator Gravel version, online here.
		Neil Sheehan, David Halberstam and a few others are absolutely significant because they represent the once emergent and now dominant journo-politico class and they serve as prototype for that class we are dealing with currently.
