<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Former Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, the bestselling author of "In Retrospect, " draws on a lifetime of experience to offer a manifesto--an impassioned plea and a decisive and multifaceted program for making the 21st century a more peaceful century than the last.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>With <i>Wilson's Ghost</i>, Robert S. McNamara and James G. Blight deliver an impassioned plea and a decisive and multi-faceted program for making the 21st century a more peaceful century than the last. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the war that has followed, have made their argument even more imperative. In a provocative synthesis of the pragmatic, historical, and philosophical arguments for avoiding war and achieving a sustainable peace, McNamara and Blight put forth a plan for realizing Woodrow Wilson's dream. The plan begins with a moral imperative that establishes the reduction of human carnage as a major goal of foreign policy across the globe, and details the necessity of adopting new policies to support that goal. <p/> McNamara and Blight argue that now is the time for a radical approach to reducing the risk of human carnage, and they demonstrate why we cannot afford to fail in this effort.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Robert S.
