Bundy, McGeorge (1919–96) historian, educator, and government official. As the special assistant to Presidents
John F. Kennedy and
Lyndon B. Johnson for national security affairs (1961–66), Bundy supervised the
National Security Council staff and played a key role in foreign policy. He supported the
Bay of Pigs invasion (1961), counseled the president during the
Cuban Missile Crisis (1962), and joined Defense Secretary
Robert S. McNamara in urging increased U.S. involvement in Vietnam, advocating “sustained reprisals” against the North Vietnamese.
