Former U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Strange McNamara died today. He was 93. I never met him, but to me he was the embodiment of global politics and a major reason I decided to study international relations. Deborah Shapley said it best: “For better and worse McNamara shaped much in today’s world”.
Rest in peace.
