I knew some of his background given my age (late 50s) and observed his actions both before, during, and after the Afghanistan and Iraq War. What I didn't know about is his early life and his business life. We should all be as proactive and resolute as this man was. I don't need to defend him against critics as they are all too numerous and predictable. I admire Rumsfeld for not just his good qualities, but also for the dedication he gave in his life toward securing needed changes within government and business. Only the Lord God can judge each one of us righteously, and I leave that to the ultimate author of all our lives. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has become the leading spokesman for the Bush administration on all matters related to the military and its prosecution of the war on terror. Midge Decter, an accomplished political journalist who has enjoyed over two decades of friendship with Rumsfeld, will answer the question of why and how he has come to play such a critical role. Partly biographical and partly analytical, the book focuses on Rumsfeld's past and current activities as well as what he represents: an ethos of sturdiness, frankness, and resilience that has clearly resonated with the American public. Decter gained Rumsfeld's full cooperation, and she trailed him through the Pentagon and beyond as he prosecuted the war on terror and the military campaign against Saddam Hussein. The daily stresses of advising the president, handling the media, crafting military policy, and dealing with issues of life and death are examined from the inside - as they happened. This book offers a dynamic, intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the biggest political star (apart from the President himself) of the Bush administration. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
