McNamara was a very interesting, tragic historical figure who in later
life came to recognize the error of his ways. *Robert McNamara*, the
wunderkind who fascinated President John F. Kennedy with his
intellectual gymnastics while serving as his secretary of defense,
has died at the age of 93. He was brilliant, the quintessential
liberal do-gooder who sincerely believed he was doing the right thing
but whose efforts almost invariably led to disaster.
| _Robert S. McNamara_, probably the most influential (and most
| controversial) secretary of defense in U.S. history, passed away
| this morning.
Because of his role in the Vietnam war, Mcnamara will likely be
remembered as an archetypal cold warrior. In his retirement however,
McNamara became an outspoken advocate of nuclear disarmament. His
cover story from the May/June 2005 issue of Foreign Policy remains a
must-read on the topic, particularly given today’s talks in Moscow
