前美國國防部長麥納馬拉一手策劃統籌並指揮這曾一度被稱為 "麥納馬拉的戰爭" 的越南戰事,晚年不再肯定認同自己當年的立場。
這一篇簡略地描述他一生的文章反映了不少這場影響我們一生的戰爭。

The VN war was once called the McNamara's War, though he was the architect of the VN war, Mr. McNamara took a stand against his own conduct in his later years. This comprehensive article sheds light of a war that had changed many of our lives forever.
