www.mslaw.edu The men in President Kennedy's cabinet who were involved in The Bay of Pigs were among the most brilliant in the world, from Robert McNamara to Dean Rusk to McGeorge Bundy, so how did they, together, make such a terrible decision? There were a number of factors that lead to the bad decisions about The Bay of Pigs, most importantly Groupthink. Irving Janus's book Group Think was inspired by the Bay of Pigs decision.
In this excerpt from the Massachusetts School of Law's hour long Program Books Of Our Time, dedicated to Author Jim Rasenberger's book; The Brilliant Disaster - JFK, Castro, and America's Doomed Invasion of Cuba's Bay of Pigs, Mr. Rasenberger discusses how the brilliant minds of JFK's National Security Council, including McGeorge Bundy, Robert McNamara, Dean Rusk, and others, were influenced by "Group Think"; and posits that perhaps they would have been better served if their backgrounds had been more diverse. The host of Books of Our Time is Lawrence R. Velvel, Dean of The Massachusetts School of Law.
