MacNamara in Context
“HOW should we remember Robert McNamara? As an engaged public servant who participated in some of the most important decisions of the 20th century? A hawk who served as the chief architect of the war in Vietnam? A technocrat who never fully understood the moral implications of his policies? A hero who steadfastly worked to prevent the escalation of conventional war into thermonuclear conflict? All of the above?”
Errol Morris on Robert MacNamara. And if you haven’t already, it’s worth checking out The Fog of War. (via Kottke)
