Stated first edition on copyright page with full number line. Book appears unread. In publisher's near fine dust jacket, price clipped, touch of shelf wear. Signed on the front free endpaper by Robert S. McNamara, James G. Blight and Robert K. Brigham. James G. Blight is a professor of foreign relations and film producer, notably the academy award winning documentary titled The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara. Blight developed a new form of oral interview during his conversations with McNamara, called "critical oral history," which relies on declassified documents and the personal insights of key decision makers to refine and enhance the historical understanding of a subject. Both co-authors of this book wrote extensively on the post-Cold War foreign relations of the United States.

Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. First edition, second printing. Association copy signed by Robert S. McNamara on the front free endpaper and inscribed to former Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach "To Lydia and Nick, two of my dearest friends, with immense admiration and great affection," with date 5/22/99. xxiii, [5], 479, [2] pp. Near Fine with light wear and edge toning to covers, slight bumping to corners, and several tiny stains to upper edge of textblock. In Fine unclipped dust jacket. Robert McNamara served as the United States Secretary of Defense from 1961 to 1968, a period that saw the intensification of American involvement in the Vietnam War. This book, his attempt at a postmortem of the tragedy, is inscribed to someone else whose name is linked with a tragedy of the 1960s: Nicholas Katzenbach, whose time working for the Kennedy and Johnson administrations overlapped with McNamara's. On November 25, 1963, three days after Kennedy's assassination, Katzenbach sent a memo to the new President's assistant in which he declared that the public must be satisfied that Lee Harvey Oswald was the assassin, and that speculation as to the man's motives must be cut off. When what is now called "The Katzenbach Memo" was released by the National Archives in 1994, it fueled the longstanding claims that Kennedy's assassination had been a conspiracy that was immediately covered up by the authorities. A meaningful association copy from the Katzenbach estate, testifying to the deep friendship between two men who played key roles in mid-20th century US political history.
