FORMER PENTAGON CHIEF ROBERT MCNAMARA DIES
Former US defence secretary Robert McNamara has died at the age of 93.
He died in his sleep at his home in Washington DC after suffering failing health for some time.
McNamara held the position of defence secretary during the Vietnam War and the Cuban Missile Crisis, serving under presidents John F Kennedy and Lyndon B Johnson.
He was also an architect of the US policy of nuclear deterrence.
Before becoming Pentagon chief in 1961, McNamara was the president of Ford Motor Company, turning the company around in the post World War II era.
After leaving the Pentagon he went on became president of the World Bank.
When he left office he was the longest-serving US defence secretary.
He is most famously associated with his role as key architect of the Vietnam War from 1961 to 1968.
This left him the target on many anti-war critics and later, in his memoirs, he wrote of his regret over his role in the war.
Following his retirement from the World Bank in the early 80s he also championed the cause of nuclear disarmament.

Colin Luther Powell is an American statesman and a retired four-star general in the United States Army. He was the 65th United States Secretary of State, serving under U.S. President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2005, the first African American to serve in that position. During his military career, Powell also served as National Security Advisor (1987Ð1989), as Commander of the U.S. Army Forces Command (1989) and as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989Ð1993), holding the latter position during the Persian Gulf War. He was the first, and so far the only, African American to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and was the first of two consecutive African American office-holders to hold the key Administration position of U.S. Secretary of State.
