Description

Donald Rumsfeld tells the story of his career serving as a Congressman, and working for several Presidents in different capacities including two stints as Secretary of Defense. He describes Rumsfeld's Rules, his list of guidelines for behavior and action, and how they were proven over a lifetime of service as well as his use of 'snowflakes', informal memos designed to stimulate action in others. This work gives good insights into the inner workings and thought processes of an ethical administration. Rumsfeld shares in detail how decisions were made in the George W. Bush administration and where he thinks they might have been done differently. A long book worth the effort of serious study.

Description

With the same directness that defined his career in public service, Rumsfeld's memoir is filled with previously undisclosed details and insights about the Bush administration, 9/11, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. It also features Rumsfeld's unique and often surprising observations on eight decades of history.
