“Fog of War”

If you have broadband, and a spare 2 hours to watch an excellent documentary: I can highly recommend this one:

From wikipedia: The film depicts the life of Robert McNamara, United States Secretary of Defense from 1961 to 1968, through the use of archival footage, White House recordings, and most prominently, an interview of McNamara at the age of 85. The subject matter spans from McNamara’s work as one of the “Whiz Kids” during World War II and at Ford to his involvement in the Vietnam War as the Secretary of Defense under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson.

It is interesting how someone who was deeply involved in some of the most brutal parts of the mid-20th Century spent many years working at the World Bank. Searching for atonement?

Fog of War.
