Robert McNamara - his life and career!
This book does an exceptional job of laying out in full the life and career of Robert McNamara, America's longest serving Defense Secretary. Meticulously researched and compelling writing make this book a must have for anyone interested in the time period in which McNamara lived and worked, which was quite a significant amount of years. Great book overall, highly recommended!

Promise and Power
As a woman Vietnam era Navy veteran I need to fill in the blanks of why a man would send so many to a war that we did not need. Life of Robert McNamara. I am reading this to understand the politics and the corruption concerning the Vietnam war.
