#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER. The definitive insider's account of American policy making in Vietnam.

"Can anyone remember a public official with the courage to confess error and explain where he and his country went wrong? This is what Robert McNamara does in this brave, honest, honorable, and altogether compelling book."--Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.

Written twenty years after the end of the Vietnam War, former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara's controversial memoir answers the lingering questions that surround this disastrous episode in American history.

With unprecedented candor and drawing on a wealth of newly declassified documents, McNamara reveals the fatal misassumptions behind our involvement in Vietnam. Keenly observed and dramatically written, In Retrospect possesses the urgency and poignancy that mark the very best histories--and the unsparing candor that is the trademark of the greatest personal memoirs.
Includes a preface written by McNamara for the paperback edition.

Almost worked!
I have an EXTREMELY destructive Boston Terrier. She loves playing with her toys, but she loves destroying them even more. "Chicken" was her Christmas present and she loved him. She did pull his eyes off right away, fortunately she didn't swallow them, but I was excited that she couldn't immediately shred him. Then she found his weak spot. She managed to grab hold of the tag and tore the seam, and now she just plays with Chicken's torn up husk. He lasted 3 days, which was longer than any other stuffed animal. I would purchase again, but I would cut the tag as short as I could before giving it to her. It was a good run, but I'm still looking for a soft you she can't destroy!

My 18 lb dog had this torn apart in MINUTES
You are going to read this review and think "my dog will be different" just as I did reading some of the poor reviews. I was bamboozled by this product thinking that there must be something special about it and I was poorly mistaken. First off my dog did love this toy right out of the box. Secondly she had it destroyed in mere MINUTES! I was truly stunned. If you feel you must still purchase this stuffed toy after reading my review please find one by this company that is on sale, do NOT pay full price. She had the trim chewed off, a wing off, the squeakers out within 15 min and I am not exaggerating. There was stuffing EVERYWHERE. Was it kind of amusing? Yes. Was I disappointed in the "chew guard" technology? Absolutely. Be warned! If your dog destroys stuffed animals this one will be no different!!

Durable squeaky,eats any toy squeaker gone immediately definitely would recommend
Purchased December still has 2 squeakers working. Never ever had a squeaky that last this long. 25 lb fur baby that finds all especially squeakers. Would definitely recommend I am going to purchase more. Toy boxes is full of stuffy’s with squeakers that no longer work just amazed at the durability and wash as well also

The puppy loves it!
Our new little Rat Terrier, w/ razor sharp teeth and toenails, seems to love this toy. She has learned to squeak the wings and feet, but the belly squeaker is too well buried for her, so when I squeak it, she comes running! After three weeks, it is well chewed, but NO holes in it! Puppies have short attention spans, but she will chase this happily for about 15 minutes, when we're playing Squeak and Throw! Actually, I get tired of throwing it, before she tires of chasing it!

Enjoyed by puppy
Excellent puppy teether. Stands up to games of tug-o-war, satisfies the need for chewing on the "bone" and she likes it when it's been cooled. I wet the fabric part before popping it in the fridge. So far, it's held up well to her sharp puppy teeth. Definitely a repeat purchase item.
