did mcnamara tell the whole story

Probably not. McNamara had his own interests and the interests of the establishment he represented to protect. In the context of the events he was associated with, there were hidden agendas, classified information, and political considerations. These factors could have led him to withhold parts of the story. For example, the real impact of certain military decisions on the civilian population in Vietnam might have been downplayed or not fully disclosed.

It's hard to say for sure. Maybe he did, or maybe there were some parts he left out.

No. The Pentagon Papers themselves were a revelation of some of the secrets that had been hidden. McNamara was part of the establishment that had been keeping certain information from the public. So, it's likely that there were still elements of the story that were not fully told even in what was released in the Pentagon Papers.

Shan Tianfang did not tell the whole story of Water Margins. The Water Margins was one of the four famous Chinese classical novels. It told the story of Lin Chong, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, and the rebel army led by Song Jiang, who gathered at Liangshan Lake to start a series of soul-stirring stories. Shan Tianfang's storytelling was one of the traditional Chinese storytellers. Usually, she would tell the story according to the plot and characters of the novel, but not the entire book.

I'm not sure specifically who 'Ali McNamara' is within the context of 'Fantastic Fiction' without more information. There could be many authors or characters with that name in the world of fantastic fiction.

Maybe he trusted her completely and felt the need to share everything.

Since I'm not familiar with Ali McNamara's contributions to Fantastic Fiction, it could be that their works are either not widely known or are part of a more specialized area within the genre. Maybe they write a particular type of fantasy, like urban fantasy or high - fantasy, but without more research, it's hard to say.

Yes, I did. But it was quite complicated and had many details to remember.

The 'Tell - Tale Heart' is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe. It's about an unnamed narrator who tries to convince the reader of his sanity while recounting the murder he committed. He lives with an old man, who has a vulture - like pale blue eye that disturbs the narrator. Driven by this obsession, the narrator plots to kill the old man. One night, he enters the old man's room and kills him, then dismembers the body and hides it under the floorboards. When the police come to investigate, the narrator hears what he believes to be the old man's heart still beating beneath the floorboards, and his guilt drives him to confess.

I'm not sure which 'Gunther' you specifically refer to. There could be many people or characters named Gunther. Can you give some more context like is he from a particular place, a certain story or a well - known field?
