There is no necessary relationship between fame and power, and
great influence is often wielded in willful obscurity. So it was
with the irascible, indomitable Eugene Fubini. A physics prodigy
who fled Italy when the fascists came to power, his searing
intelligence and relentless determination lifted him from obscurity
to the highest levels of the Pentagon. Indifferent to anything but
results, Fubini worked behind the scenes to shape the strategy and
substance of his adopted country's post-World War II defense. Along
the way he exerted enormous influence over the development of
radar, the rise of the military-industrial complex, the Space Race,
and many of the other signature events and movements of
mid-twentieth-century American geopolitics. But even as his
unbending determination to do things his way earned him the
admiration of his colleagues, it left him feared and isolated
within his own family. "Let Me Explain" is a portrait of a man
whose unwillingness and inability to compromise paid enormous
rewards, and extracted a heavy emotional price. David G. Fubini is
a director of McKinsey & Company, Inc. in Boston,
Massachusetts. For more than a decade he was the managing director
of the Boston office, and led the firm's activities in New England.
Prior to joining McKinsey, David was an initial member of a small
group that became the McNeil Consumer Products Company of Johnson
& Johnson. David received a degree in business administration
with honors from the University of Massachusetts, and a master's
degree in business administration, with distinction, from Harvard
University. He lives in Brookline, Massachusetts with his wife,
Bertha Rivera, and their four children.
