| Calling McNamara at War a New History. | ||
| The introduction to this full-life biography of former Secretary of Defense Robert Strange McNamara says the following: Quote: In McNamara at War, Philip and William Taubman examine McNamara's life of personal contradiction, unquote. | ||
| It's a portrait of a man at war with himself, according to the authors. | ||
| It's ribbed with melancholy, guilt, zealous loyalty, and profound inability to admit his flawed thinking about Vietnam before it was too late. | ||
| And that's according to the authors. | ||
| William Taubman, seven years older than his brother at 83, is an emeritus political science professor from Amherst College. | ||
| Brother Phil spent 30 years with the New York Times and is an author of several books. | ||
