Description
Summary:	James Fallows, a military affairs writer for the Atlantic Monthly among other publications, recounts his loss of faith in American leadership as a student at Harvard in the late 1960s. He describes being increasingly uncomfortable with the war just before the time he learned he had a low draft number, making it likely he would be sent to Vietnam. Fallows goes into detail about the lengths Harvard and MIT students would go to receive deferments, all but ensuring families like theirs - upper class families - would be spared the physical costs of the war.
