About this listen

 Former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and actor Peter Gallagher on this archival edition of Fresh Air. McNamara is the author of In Retrospect: The Tragedy and Lessons of Vietnam which contains the long awaited admission that McNamara felt the U.S. policy in Vietnam was wrong and the war was unwinnable. He details the behind-the-scenes decision making policies that escalated the war and the atmosphere of the times which made them feel they had no choice but to do so. Gallagher starred in The Underneath, and While You Were Sleeping. The New York Times said, "the first hit of summer is here," about "While You Were Sleeping." Gallagher has been on the acting scene for over two decades. He has worked steadily, but only recently has he garnered commercial success in film. Gallagher is well known on Broadway as the star of Guys and Dolls.(P) and ©2000 WHYY-FM
