  McGeorge Bundy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
McGeorge "Mac" Bundy (March 30, 1919 – September 16, 1996) was Special Assistant for National Security Affairs to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson from 1961-1966, and then headed the Ford Foundation from 1966–1979.
His father, Harvey Hollister Bundy, was from Grand Rapids, Michigan and was a diplomat who helped implement the Marshall Plan.
McGeorge attended both the Groton School and Yale University one year behind his brother William Bundy.

 McGeorge Bundy: How He Tackled America's Problem with Race
McGeorge Bundy hardly guessed how long a journey he was beginning when he traveled to Philadelphia in August 1966 to address the annual banquet of the National Urban League.
Bundy was the brightest of the bright young men around the glamorous President, and his cool, decisive manner soon came to epitomize the Kennedy style.
Bundy’s preface to Ford’s 1967 annual report, one of his most insightful writings on the race issue, talks--without a hint of defensiveness-about "legitimately militant fl leaders [and] their properly angry words." Besides, he was convinced, this anger would eventually pass.

 McGeorge Bundy Dies at 77
Bundy was appointed Dean of FAS in 1953 at the age of 34, a surprise choice by Harvard President Nathan M. Pusey.
His father, Harvey Hollister Bundy was a lawyer who served as secretary to Oliver Wendell Holmes, assistant secretary of state from 1931 to 1933, and as special assistant to the secretary of war from 1941 to 1945.
Bundy served as a research analyst on the Council on Foreign Relations in 1949 and was a visiting lecturer at Harvard from 1949 to 1951.

 Mark Danner: Members of the Club
Bundy's sons grew accustomed to meeting the colonel at their home, to debating events of the day with the great man across their dinner table.
The Bundys well understood, he tells us, that Vietnam was a colonial war, that South Vietnam had little or no independent existence, that involving American forces in a land war was bound to hold great risks for the United States, that from the very beginning the chances of victory were not high.
McGeorge Bundy died on Sept. 16, 1996, concluding one act, at least, of what Bird calls "a peculiarly American tragedy." It is unclear, though, where that tragedy lay.

 Teil I
Bundy was deeply involved in writing the famous words for Kennedy's "peace speech" at the American University in June 1963 and Kennedy's even more famous words during his trip to Europe in the same month: "Ich bin ein Berliner." He also followed with interest the secret disarmament negotiations in Moscow in July 1963.
Bundy's insisting on air strikes against Soviet missiles in Cuba during the first week of the missile crisis (certainly the lowest point in Bundy's career) remains in contrast with his many great contributions to American foreign policy in the Kennedy years.
Bundy's contribution to the territorial and nuclear status quo in Central Europe has been missing in the Kennedy literature and in the assessments of Bundy's role in shaping American foreign policy in the 1960s.

Bundy spent 13 years as Ford Foundation president and five years as national security adviser to John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, but Bird devotes about three times as much space to Bundy’s career as a presidential adviser than to his life in the nonprofit world.
McGeorge Bundy, who served both as an aide to Stimson and as ghostwriter of Stimson’s memoirs, adopted Stimson’s views on foreign and domestic policy and became an anti-Communist liberal with views similar to those of Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Hubert Humphrey, or Joseph Alsop.
Bundy was firmly committed to stopping communism, but was equally firm in his support of the welfare state.

Bundy was also unpersuaded by two memos from Schlesinger, who voiced his blunt opposition to the whole scheme: "I am against it." In the end, vigorous dissents from Schlesinger, Mann, Fulbright and Goodwin did not persuade Bundy to come out against the operation.
Bundy vividly remembered one meeting that summer which seemed to crystallize for him the contradictory logic of having to rely on weapons which ultimately should never be unleashed.
Bundy had learned "within weeks" of taking office that "there was no discernible missile gap." But again, for political reasons, Kennedy would not yet admit publicly that a major theme of his presidential campaign had been based on myth.

 The Color of Truth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Subtitled McGeorge Bundy and William Bundy: Brothers in Arms, it is a biography focusing on the Bundys' role in American foreign policy, especially in the progression of the Vietnam War.
Bird argues evidence presented in The Color of Truth reveals the brothers "registered deep doubts about the American enterprise in Vietnam and did so far earlier than most historians had thought," although they never ceased promoting it during their time with the Kennedy and Johnson administrations.
He portrays them as complicated men who served their country, and headed many progressive causes during and after the war, and attributes their refusal to take a hard line against a war they morally opposed to their fear of risking political capital from the anti-communist Vital Center.
