Speaking to an advisor in 1966 about America's escalation of forces
in Vietnam, Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara confessed:
'We've made mistakes in Vietnam ... I've made mistakes. But the
mistakes I made are not the ones they say I made'. In 'I Made
Mistakes', Aurelie Basha i Novosejt provides a fresh and
controversial examination of Secretary of Defense Robert S.
McNamara's decisions during the Vietnam War. Although McNamara is
remembered as the architect of the Vietnam War, Novosejt draws on
new sources - including the diaries of his advisor and confidant
John T. McNaughton - to reveal a man who resisted the war more than
most. As Secretary of Defense, he did not want the costs of the war
associated with a new international commitment in Vietnam, but he
sacrificed these misgivings to instead become the public face of
the war out of a sense of loyalty to the President.
