Taylor was born in Keytesville, Missouri and graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1922.
As Army Chief of Staff, Taylor was an outspoken critic of the Eisenhower Administration's "New Look" defense policy, which he viewed as dangerously over-reliant on nuclear arms and neglectful of conventional forces; he also criticized the inadequacies of the Joint Chiefs of Staff system.
Taylor was of crucial importance during the first weeks and months of the Vietnam War.

Taylor's term as chairman and later as U.S. ambassador to South Vietnam produced mixed results, not the least of which was an increased American military presence in Southeast Asia.
To the younger Taylor's credit, he does conclude that by 1965, few in the Johnson administration, including Ambassador Taylor, seriously considered withdrawal and the vast majority were certainly unwilling to face any option that acknowledged the possibility of defeat by a third-rate power.

 Chapter 4: From the Word of the Law to the Interpretation: President Kennedy Attempts to Put the CIA Under Control, ...
Maxwell Taylor was not the White House military adviser in the regular sense; he was the CIA's man at the White House, and he was the paramilitary adviser.
In the hands of Maxwell Taylor, this meant that he was most willing to take full advantage of the situation and to be the President's key adviser during "peacetime operations as he would be during time of war".
Taylor's tenure would mark the end of the day of the old soldier and the beginning of the Special Forces, the peacetime operator, the response-motivated counterinsurgency warrior who has been so abundantly uncovered in the conflict of the past ten years in Vietnam.

 Must We Beat the Sword of Limited War into a Plowshare?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
When Taylor visited Diem just prior to that autumn of disaster, in the last week of September, he favored establishing specific political, economic, and military goals to put before the South Vietnamese as targets to be gained.
Is such an affirmation consistent with Taylor’s statement late in his book, when he is seeking to draw lessons from Vietnam in regard to future commitments of American military force, that “the choice of the cause is of the utmost importance in avoiding future discomfitures of the Vietnam kind.
However that may be, General Taylor is surely right to worry about the effect of Vietnam on our ability to employ the option of limited war and on the general credibility of our military power as an instrument of deterrence and of national policy.

In this connection it is worthwhile to review briefly the evolution of “flexible response” because of (1) its closeness to gradualism as a concept and (2) the importance of its author’s positions in the armed forces and as a high-level government adviser at the time the gradualist approach was developed.
Whether General Taylor is the author of gradualism or merely an exponent of a concept that has been changed by the manner in which it was implemented is not the important issue.

 That low thrumming noise is Maxwell Taylor... | The Agonist
Basically the polling indicates that by any reasonable historical standard the war on Iraq has had very little direct, concrete impact on the lives of everyday Americans.
In the aftermath of the Vietnam war Max Taylor and a group of folks in the highest echelons of command restructured the American Army such that it would be impossible to have a major war, contrary to what happened in Vietnam, without mobilizing the National Guard.
The thinking was that this would increase the political stakes of going to war and ensure that future administrations couldn't slide the country into war without anyone noticing, using only the regular Army.
