Description
In this candid memoir, a veteran of Washington recounts a career spanning congressional service, senior roles in multiple administrations, and two tenures as secretary of defense. He reflects on the principles that guided his leadership, including his personal rules for decision-making and the concise memoranda he used to provoke discussion and action. Offering an insider’s perspective on the workings of government, the book examines pivotal choices made during the George W. Bush administration while considering how some might have been approached differently. It is a detailed study of public service, leadership, accountability, and the complexities of policymaking at the highest levels.
