Remarkably rich analysis...an especially important and insightful contribution to the literature on the Vietnam War.
— Gary R. Hess; American Historical Review
Striking material...this subject has been written about often, but never with keener understanding.
— Ronald Steel
The best in print...an impressive range of sources to craft a work that not only delineates LBJ's dilemmas but penetrates his motives.
— John Prados, author of Presidents' Secret Wars
An unusually lucid and even gripping work of scholarship.
— Jeff Stein; The Washington Post
An absolutely terrific book...Pay Any Price is simply the best book on the period anyone has written.
— Marilyn B. Young, author of The Vietnam Wars, 1945–1990
Acclaimed as the finest study of LBJ and Vietnam
