hardcover w/ dj. Zustand: Sehr gut. 512 Seiten Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition ( IJCT ) . - Former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara is the lead author in a remarkable study of how the Vietnam War happened and why it could not be stopped before three million people died. Did the Vietnam War have to happen? And why couldnt it have ended earlier? These are among the questions that Robert McNamara and his collaborators ask in Argument Without End, a book that will stand as a major contribution to what we know about the Vietnam War. Drawing on a series of meetings that brought together, for the first time ever, senior American and Vietnamese officials who had served during the war, the book looks at the many instances in which one side, or both, made crucial mistakes that led to the war and its duration. Using Vietnamese and Chinese documents, many never before made public, McNamara reveals both American and Vietnamese blunders, and points out ways in which such mistakes can be avoided in the future. He also shows conclusively that war could not be won militarily by the United States. Did the Vietnam War have to happen? And why couldnt it have ended earlier?

He also shows conclusively that war could not be won militarily by the United States. McNamaras last book on Vietnam was one of the most controversial books ever published in this country. This book will reignite the passionate debate about the war, about McNamara, and about the lessons we can take away from the tragedy. ISBN 9781891620225 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 496.

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.

Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: 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.
