23. Have read the book and Clark is right. the book sets

out some little known facts that had they been taken under consideration would have set conditions for success. The author is a very distinguished writer, Jung Chang. She speaks authoritatively with multiple sources about STALIN stopping Mao from going into Vietnam. p 356.

Using allies wisely and to have a diplomatic and political scenario backed by military power, if need be, is a ongoing lesson from Vietnam.

Mostly, I love the fact that Clark is willing to debate the ideas in public forums and encourage a robust discussion. Very rarely seen with most people with public stature. Go Clark!
