"The History of the U.S. Decision Making Process in Vietnam" also known as The Pentagon Papers was the Defense Department's top-secret study of the growth of U.S. military participation in Vietnam.

"The conversation proved frank but friendly. For the first time, I believe, I voiced my feeling that, because the war was not going as hoped, future scholars would surely wish to study why. I thought we should seek to facilitate such study in order to help prevent similar errors in the future. This thought ultimately lead to the "Pentagon Papers.""(McNamara,254) That conversation took place in early 1966. It wasn't until June of 1967 that McNamara, realizing that U.S. involvement in "Indochina had evolved in ways we had neither anticipated or intended, and had costs--human, political, social, and economic--had grown far greater than anyone had imagined."(McNamara,280) Realizing the United States had failed, McNamara asked his assistant secretary for international security affairs, John McNaughton "to start collecting documents for future scholars to use.
