Beckwith is not a disinterested observer of White House behavior.  As
I recall, he came under much criticism for his slavish devotion to the
letter of the plan, some of it from the White House (who essentially
remarked that they had thought that it was the INITIATIVE of the
American officer corps which made it superior to the Soviet one).  It
was Beckwith who insisted the mission could not go on, and it is very
much in his own interests to pass the blame on.   Perhaps those
criticisms were unfair, but either way, they provide him sufficient
motive for portraying his superiors in the worst possible light.
