This episode focuses on Eugene Burdick and William Lederer's 1958 classic The Ugly American, which was meant to be a wake-up call for the American foreign policy establishment. It played a role in cultivating Kennedy's emphasis on counterinsurgency and its legacy continues to influence policy decisions to this day. Let the Swami from Savannah read your palm and give this episode a listen.
