The Fog of War 



Directed by Errol Morris
Review by Marty Mapes
Errol Morris' filmed interview with former secretary of defense Robert McNamara sheds light on the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War, of which McNamara is said to be a key architect. The fog of war shrouds any true understanding of either event, but after watching Morris' engaging film, you'll feel a lot smarter and better informed about both.
