Robert S. McNamara was one of the most controversial and influential political figures of the 20th Century. As Secretary of Defence under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, he was leader of the worlds most powerful military force during one of the worlds most turbulent eras. Now for the first time ever, he sits down one-on-one with Errol Morris to offer a gripping account of the last half-century of American politics. An up-close-and-personal interview plus newly released archival footage and recorded White House conversations give a riveting insight into the events like the firebombing of Tokyo, the near nuclear catastrophe of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the devastating effects of the Vietnam War. A witness to and participant in the events that have shaped our world today. McNamaras is a story that must be told and The Fog of War is a masterpiece that must be seen.
