Once Again, Perspective is Everything.

Robert McNamara served as Secretary of Defense under both Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. Publically, he was viewed as a "hawk." However, he recommended that LBJ withdraw US forces from Vietnam for more than a year before he resigned in 1967. Afterward, McNamara remained silent about US involvement in Vietnam until 1996 when he published "In Retrospect: The Tragedy and Lessons of Vietnam." In this book, he documents all of his attempts to withdraw from 1966 until his resignation. He also honestly discusses all of the decisions and errors of US foreign policy in Vietnam. This is one of the best primary sources about the war in Vietnam, written with genuine honesty, by a key policymaker of the time.
