Synopsis
New York Times bestselling author Stephen F. Hayes delivers a comprehensive portrait of one of the most important political figures in modern times.
The Washington Post - Karen De Young
Through liberal quotations from Cheney memos, reports and speeches during the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations, along with Cheney's interview comments, Hayes displays the deep roots of Cheney's current official persona. Building executive power at the expense of the legislative branch, making secrecy rather than transparency his fallback position on any issue and preferring power behind the scenes to public idolatry have been the bedrock of Cheney's beliefs and operating style throughout his career.
