OBITUARY
Townsend Hoopes, 82, author and one-time Washington insider who wrote of how President Lyndon B. Johnson tried to de-escalate the Vietnam War in 1968, died Sept. 20 in Baja California, Mexico, from complications of melanoma. He lived in Chestertown, where he was a senior fellow at Washington College.
Mr. Hoopes, a former assistant secretary of defense, was Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara's principal deputy for international security affairs. In that post, he influenced American policies and strategies in Indochina. Later, as undersecretary of the Air Force, he saw the resulting shamble on the ground.
He startled Washington – and the country – with his blunt 1969 account The Limits of Intervention, which focused on his impressions in light of the calamitous Vietnamese Tet offensive of 1968.
After his government service, he was a frequent critic of Washington's approach to arms control in the confrontation with the Soviet Union. He also was president of the Association of American Publishers from 1973 to 1986. Other books he wrote include The Devil and John Foster Dulled: The Diplomacy of Eisenhower Era (Little Brown, 1973) and Driven Patriot: The Life and Times of James Forrestal (Knopf, 1992), written with Douglas Brinkley.
