11. The Fog of War
Although clearly irked by the dramatic liberties taken by 2000s Thirteen Days, three years later, former defense secretary Robert McNamara would get the opportunity not only to tell his side of the story
about the Cuban Missile Crisis but his political life in the haunting memoir of the ultimate Washington insider, The Fog of War.
Directed by Errol Morris, 2003s The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara, should have been a by the numbers recounting of a life in politics. However, the documentary would be a stunning up-close-and-personal discussion with a man at the heart of some of the most powerful and provocative moments that shaped America in the 20th century. McNamara himself gives an honest portrayal of his role as “architect” of the Vietnam War (amongst other pivotal roles he played in his political career with a candidness seldom seen by politicians. Even going so far as to admit the mistakes he made as a man believing he had an unshakable moral certitude.
