Re: H-Diplo Reactions to Released Records on the Tet Offenesive [Jervis]
Bob,
My colleague John Prados posted a detailed reaction to the release on the National Security Archive's blog, Unredacted. You'll get an idea of his opinion from his title: "New Tet Documents? Not So Much"
The article is here: https://unredacted.com/2018/08/07/new-tet-documents-not-so-much/
Best,

Re: H-Diplo Reactions to Released Records on the Tet Offenesive [Jervis]
I started skimming the newly released batch of documents relating to the Tet Offensive, and within minutes I found George Carver, "More Vietnam Numbers Problems," 3 November 1967,
https://www.intelligence.gov/assets/documents/tet-documents/cia/MORE%20V...
in which Carver opened up an interesting can of worms of which I had been unaware.
Re: Cardwell on Sklar, 'Creating the American Century: The Ideas and Legacies of America's Twentieth-Century Foreign Policy Founders'
Curt Cardwell’s review of Martin J. Sklar’s Creating the American Century is thoughtful, insightful, and fair. It will hopefully guide more readers to a through a challenging but important book. I offer one minor corrective – to the statement that “Sklar deserves criticism for such comments at that ‘the Anglo-American, or ‘Anglo-Saxon’ was (is) the most advanced … race’ in the last two or three hundred years of human history.”
