Before the Vietnam War, most Americans would have been hard pressed to locate Vietnam on a map. South Vietnamese President Diệm's regime was extremely unpopular, and war broke out between Communist North Vietnam and South Vietnam around the end of the 1950s. Kennedy's administration tried to prop up the South Vietnamese with training and assistance, but the South Vietnamese military was feeble. A month before his death, Kennedy signed a presidential directive withdrawing 1,000 American personnel, and shortly after Kennedy's assassination, new President Lyndon B. Johnson reversed course, instead opting to expand American assistance to South Vietnam.
The post-analysis of war is a complicated and process that benefits from hindsight, and the involvement of the United States in Vietnam over about a decade was no exception. Never formally declared as a "war," the Vietnam War was not fought in clean lines or with clear missions. Viewers of the evening news listening to the "box score" of killed and wounded each night had at best a hazy notion of what was happening a world away in Southeast Asia. If anything, their leaders were both attentive to reelection and on a certain level were themselves unsure of what was truly taking place. A military draft that sent over 50,000 American soldiers to their deaths was triggered by a resolution sought by President Lyndon B. Johnson in a decision to contain communism in a distant Asian land.

Free Download Bullshift: How Optimism Bias Threatens Your Finances (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CQ126HHT | 2024 | 6 hours and 53 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 371 MB
Author: John J. De Goey
Narrator: Justin Price
In Bullshift, John J. De Goey explores the hidden relationship between bias and financial markets. He makes clear that investors and financial advisers are not the rational decision makers that economic theory assumes them to be, and that "tried and true" investment advice is not always sound. De Goey shows that advisers are immersed in a culture of Bullshift-they simply don't realize how their positive outlook on markets is based on industry-wide groupthink. Unfortunately, this problem affects much more than just your own investment portfolio. After three years of an international pandemic, the full economic impact of the response to it still hasn't been felt. There's more pain coming, but the financial industry's eternal optimism, abetted by government policies designed to consistently encourage growth and avoid tough choices, is walking us toward a cliff for the global economy.

Startlingly honest, bracing personal essays from a perceptive educator that bring us into the world of Black masculinity, hip-hop culture, and learning.

This book is a meditation on the influences that have shaped Black boys like me.

Author: Norman Farb, Zindel Segal
Narrator: Emily Woo Zeller
Renowned neuroscientist Dr. Norman Farb and clinical psychologist Dr. Zindel Segal reveal how to break out of negative patterns by engaging your senses. For many of us, daily life has stopped making sense. Super-efficient routines that once served us well now stress us out. Patterns of judgment and negative thinking lead to downward emotional spirals. For others, life has simply lost its spark. Where does change come from when habit lets you down? Whether we're struggling with a problem, a bad habit, or life in general, we often think we need to be resilient by "toughing it out" or "trying harder." But when we do that, our brains double down on the thinking patterns that got us stuck in the first place-even when they clearly aren't working for us. Fortunately, the science of sensation provides the key.
