Item description from seller

19pp. Typed, with significant pencil crossouts and additions. 4to. In 1966, the year of his daughter's graduation from Chatham University, Robert McNamara -- then serving as Secretary of Defense in the midst of Vietnam -- was asked to deliver the commencement address. The speech examined the role of protest in history and the effects of technological and social change. Although heavily criticized at the time for his role in esclating the Vietnam war, McNamara had already begun questioning the increased engagement and by the November 1967 would resign as Secretary. It was not until the release of the Pentagon Papers which detailed his own internal investigation of the war that his objections were fully understood. 19pp. Typed, with significant pencil crossouts and additions. 4to.
