"I don't want any damned Dienbienphu," he warned the Joint Chiefs of Staff during a White House discussion of Khe Sanh, cross-examining them at great length about the wisdom of defending the isolated outpost. In an extraordinary gesture, apparently designed to alert everyone to the gravity of the situation, Johnson then made each Chief sign a paper stating that he believed Khe Sanh could be defended...

"When I was in college, you had to hide in the toilet to read those things," recalls Jane Ferrar, wife of a Columbia English instructor, and a freelance writer of trots under the nom de plume of Jane Wexford. But students now carry them everywhere, college bookstores display them, and 15 million are sold annually.
