Mike from The United States said on Goodreads:

So far, excellent book. Very easy read, well written, and relates to events I lived through.

Rob from Terra Alta, WV said on Goodreads:

I just got the this book today, and so far I really like it. I think that this book is probably more truthful, and up front about what really was going on in the White House, during the Bush year's, in office, and who was really running things.

Scott from The United States said on Goodreads:

I've been reading a lot of nonfiction recently...it's about time I cozied up to a cheap political thriller.

Jennifer from The United States said on Goodreads:

cannot wait to read this! next week!

Summary

In this eagerly anticipated memoir, former Vice President Dick Cheney delivers an unyielding portrait of American politics over nearly 40 years and shares personal reflections on his role as one of the most steadfast and influential statesmen in the history of our country.

The public perception of Dick Cheney has long been something of a contradiction. He has been viewed as one of the most powerful vice presidents: secretive, even mysterious, and at the same time opinionated and unflinchingly outspoken. He has been both praised and attacked by his peers, the press, and the public. Through it all, courting only the ideals that define him, he has remained true to himself, his principles, his family, and his country. Now, in an enlightening and provocative memoir with flashes of surprising humor and remarkable candor, Dick Cheney takes listeners through his experiences as family man, policymaker, businessman, and politician during years that shaped our collective history.

Born into a family of New Deal Democrats in Lincoln, Nebraska, Cheney was the son of a father at war and a high-spirited and resilient mother. He came of age in Casper, Wyoming, playing baseball and football and, as senior-class president, courting homecoming queen Lynne Vincent, whom he later married. This all-American story took an abrupt turn when he flunked out of Yale University, signed on to build power lines in the West, and started living as hard as he worked. Cheney tells the story of how he got himself back on track and began an extraordinary ascent to the heights of American public life, where he would remain for nearly four decades:

He was the youngest White House Chief of Staff, working for President Gerald Ford - the first of four chief executives he would come to know well.
He became Congressman from Wyoming and was soon a member of the congressional leadership, working closely with President Ronald Reagan.
He became Secretary of Defense...
