Robert Komer was born on February 23, 1922, in Chicago, Illinois, the United States, but was raised in St. Louis, Missouri.
Komer graduated from Harvard University.
Komer served during the Vietnam War as President Lyndon Johnson’s special assistant in charge of the U.S. government’s controversial “pacification” program to disseminate propaganda in South Vietnam and identify Vietcong agents working in the country.
An army veteran who had served in World War II, Komer joined the Central Intelligence Agency in 1947, rising to become a senior intelligence analyst before moving to the National Security Council under President John F. Kennedy in 1961. He remained on the staff after Johnson took office and became one of the president’s closest advisers. Komer’s work in Vietnam lasted from 1966 to 1968; years later, he called the war “a strategic disaster.”
Komer wrote six books in which he recorded his insights and experiences related to international defense efforts. His first book, titled Bureaucracy Does Its Thing, appeared in 1972, and his Malayan Emergency in Retrospect followed in 1973. His final two books, Coalition Security and Coalition Defense, were published in 1983; in addition, he wrote many articles for international and military-related journals and newspapers.
After the war, he served as an ambassador to Turkey and as undersecretary for defense policy in the Carter administration.
