The acclaimed, hotly debated #1 New York Times bestseller Few Americans have spent more time near the center of power than Donald Rumsfeld, whose widely commented on memoir offers many previously undisclosed details about his service with four U.S. presidents. We follow his rise from a middle-class childhood through the Navy to a seat in the U.S. Congress at age thirty, and his experiences there during the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights era. We also get his unique perspective as cabinet-level member for the Nixon and Ford administrations, as CEO of two Fortune 500 companies, and as a special envoy to the Middle East for President Reagan. Rumsfeld also addresses the challenges and controversies of his time as Secretary of Defense during the 9/11 attacks and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He includes candid observations on the differences of <strong>view</strong>s within the Pentagon and with other members of President George W. Bush’s National Security Council. In a famous press briefing, Rumsfeld once said that “There are also unknown unknowns . . . things we do not know we don’t know.” His book makes us realize just how much we didn’t know. “A serious stab at telling the history of a consequential period in America through the eyes of one of its most consequential players. “ —Peter Baker, The New York Times “The first political memoir of the Information Age.” —Gordon Crovitz, The Wall Street Journal “Readers might be appreciative to find themselves in possession of a serious memoir, more in keeping with the older Washington tradition of Dean Acheson or Henry Kissinger.” —Kimberley Strassel, The Wall Street Journal “I don’t care whether you’re . . . a liberal or a conservative or something else: If you’re interested in this period of history, the book is a total feast.” —Jay Nordlinger, National Re<strong>view</strong> “A meaty, well-written book that will be a primary source for historians . . . This power memoir deserves to be read with the care that went into writing it.” —Christopher Buckley, BusinessWeek suGGesteD oRDeR m ay • s e n t i n e l 71
