A blistering, provocative collection from one of America's most original and unsparing commentators.
In Many Roads: A Fred Reed Treasury, Vol. 2, Fred Reed turns his razor-sharp eye to war, empire, military folly, and the long unraveling of American judgment. Drawing on his experiences as a Marine in Vietnam, a war correspondent in Southeast Asia, and a longtime observer of the Pentagon and Washington, Reed writes with a rare combination of firsthand authority, mordant humor, and literary force.
This volume gathers Reed's unforgettable essays on Vietnam, China, and the repeated disasters of modern American war. Here are vivid recollections of Saigon and Phnom Penh, ruthless dissections of military incompetence, and fierce reflections on the cost of intervention-paid by soldiers, civilians, and nations alike. Reed is equally at home describing the alleys of wartime Asia, the absurdities of boot camp, the machinery of empire, and the dangerous fantasies of Washington elites.
What emerges is far more than military commentary. These essays are also a portrait of a writer unwilling to flatter power, ideology, or fashion. Reed is sardonic, funny, deeply skeptical, and often devastatingly right. He writes not as an academic theorist, but as a man who has seen war up close, lived among its casualties, and watched the same mistakes repeated under new slogans.
Inside this volume you will find:

  • Personal reflections on Vietnam and its aftermath
  • Sharp analyses of U.S. conflict with China
  • Essays on the Pentagon, military culture, and failed wars
  • Reporting-infused portraits of Southeast Asia
  • Fred Reed's trademark blend of wit, irreverence, and hard-earned insight
For readers of political commentary, military history, war memoir, and fearless nonfiction, this collection offers the full force of Fred Reed at his most incisive.
