Talk:The Wise Men (book)

The First Meeting
Next to last sentence in that paragraph refers to someone named Bunker: ...recommend that Gen. William Westmoreland and Bunker should.... The next sentence continues with a mention of McGeorge Bundy. Should Bunker really reference Bundy? A citation would have helped me to fact-check this myself; as it is, I defer to the original author or some other expert.

 * SLJ, Bunker was added 24 April 2007 by, who has not edited since 16 June 2007. That said, Bunker is Ellsworth Bunker. I'll change this. > Best O Fortuna (talk) 18:20, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Which country??? What is the "East Coast foreign policy establishment"??? -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 22:08, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
 * This article is about United States foreign policy during the cold war. The East Coast foreign policy Establishment phrase refers to men from the east coast of the United States who were the most influential, essentially creating what would be the foreign policy of the United States for the coming decades of the Cold War.

Reformat article to be about the book
As I suggested at Articles for deletion/The Wise Men, I believe this article would be better rewritten to be about the book which is the source of the phrase - rather than about the six men who are the subject of it. I am willing to undertake this rewrite and will start in a day or so if there are no objections. I would like opinions about whether the article should be retitled as The Wise Men (book). --MelanieN (talk) 00:55, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I have drafted an article about the book and it can be viewed here. Comments are welcome. If there are no objections I will paste it into this article next week and I will change the title of this article to The Wise Men (book). --MelanieN (talk) 17:16, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

I have carried out the rewrite and the move. --MelanieN (talk) 17:48, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
