In the long and troubled saga of America’s involvement in Vietnam, few people in Washington were as influential as John T. McNaughton in building the case for escalation of the conflict and few worked so diligently in the background to find a way out. His 1967 death in a mid-air plane crash and the loss of many of his papers have thwarted thorough examination of his career. I have established this blog with the objective of assembling information about McNaughton's life and conflicts.

Office of the Secretary of Defense Historical Office upcoming publication on ISA
A publication about the International Security Affairs function in the Pentagon is in the works from the OSD Historical Office. I am told that it will include a page or two on McNaughton as one of the more prominent people to hold the office of Assistant Secretary of Defense of International Security Affairs. It is scheduled for release in the October/November timeframe.
