Robert McNamara was an American public servant who served as the U.S. Secretary of Defense during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. His leadership was crucial during the Cuban Missile Crisis and the escalation of the Vietnam War. McNamara's impact on military strategy and his later work in promoting global development through the World Bank showcased his commitment to using his expertise for both national security and international progress. His legacy serves as a reminder of the complexities of decision-making at the highest levels of government and how a thoughtful, data-driven approach can shape history.
