War profiles seven cabinet officials, such as Robert McNamara, who directed the U.S. armed forces at historic moments. Grainy black-and-white photos hardly glamorize these already dully designed books, but the undeterred will find them adequate resources. Bib., glos., ind. [Review covers these In the Cabinet titles: Secretaries of State and Secretaries of War, Navy, and Defense.]
