" Interesting review of a decade of turmoil from the flawed, outspoken, but determined and forceful ex-SECDEF. The NY Times, in typical and unfair political hegemony gives the book short shrift, reviewing it (scathingly) in a Thursday publication. Rumsfeld's attitudes and opinion can be, (and should be) thoroughly questioned and judged, (by credentialed historians, not by Michiko Kakutani) but one comes away wondering what his ivory tower detractors would have done if assigned to make the decisions that he was forced to make in perilous times.
