An American business executive who also served as the U.S Defense States secretary, was born on 9th June 1916, in San Francisco. McNamara taught at Harvard from 1940 until 1943, when he received a captain's commission in the United States Army Air Corps. He was released from active duty as a lieutenant colonel in 1946. In 1960, he was appointment as president of the Ford Motor Company. McNamara served as the secretary of defence. His suggestion that the United States should defuse its nuclear-armed missiles in Turkey led to a U.S.-Soviet agreement that resolved the Cuban crisis. McNamara initially supported U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War (1959-1975) and encouraged escalation in 1964. He later sought to open peace negotiations. He became the President of the International Bank. In 1995 McNamara published a memoir, in which he wrote that U.S. military involvement in the war was “terribly wrong.” He blamed both himself and other government officials, including President Johnson, for not engaging in more detailed debate that might have illuminated the problems surrounding the war. The book The Tragedy and Lessons of Vietnam, generated controversy, with many people questioning why McNamara waited three decades to speak out against the war.
He died on July 6, 2009, Washington, D.C., United States.
