Rumsfeld: His Rise, Fall, And Catastrophic Legacy



product description donald rumsfeld, who as secretary of defense oversaw the army, navy, air force, and marines from 2001 to december 2006, is widely blamed for the catastrophic state of americas involvement in iraq. in his groundbreaking book rumsfeld, washington insider andrew cockburn details rumsfelds decisions in the wars in iraq and afghanistan and also shows how his political legacy stretches back decades and will reach far into the future. relying on sources that include high-ranking officials in the pentagon and the white house, rumsfeld goes far beyond previous accounts to reveal a man consumed with the urge to dominate each and every human encounter, and whose aggressive ambition has long been matched by his inability to display genuine leadership or accept responsibility for egregious error. cockburn exposes rumsfelds early career as an illinois congressman, his rise to prominence as an official in the nixon white house, his careful maneuvering to avoid the fallout of the watergate scandal, and his skillful infighting as secretary of defense under president ford. cockburn also chronicles for the very first time rumsfelds subsequent tenure as ceo of g. d. searle (and his devoted efforts to get governmental approval for the controversial artificial sweetener aspartame) as well as his interesting behavior in secret high-level government nuclear war games in the years he was out of power. president george w. bushs hasty elevation of rumsfeld as his secretary of defense proved historic, for it was the triumvirate of bush, vice president dick cheney, and rumsfeld who plunged america into the disastrous quagmire of the war in iraq. cockburn reveals how rumsfelds habits of intimidation, indecision, ignoring awkward realities, destructive micromanagement, and bureaucratic manipulation all helped doom americas military adventure. the book challenges the notion that rumsfeld was an effective manager driven to transform the american military, examines the reasons that rumsfeld was removed from office, and shows how his second appointment as secretary of defense reflects a deep conflict between president bush and his father, former president george h. w. bush. brimming with powerful revelations, rumsfeld is sure to emerge as the must-have piece of investigative journalism as america grapples with its difficult involvement in iraq and the uncertain path the country faces today. about the author andrew cockburn is a writer and lecturer on defense and national affairs, and is also the author of five nonfiction books. he has written for the new york times, the new yorker, playboy, vanity fair, and national geographic, among other publications. he currently lives in washington, d.c. excerpt. © reprinted by permission. all rights reserved. rumsfeld chapter one making history just after 9: 37 a.m. on the morning of september 11, 2001, officer aubrey davis of the pentagon police was standing outside donald rumsfeld s office on the third floor of the pentagon s e ring. inside, rumsfeld, though aware that the world trade center towers in new york had already been hit, was proceeding with his regularly scheduled cia briefing. davis, on the other hand, had concluded from watching the tv news that the country was under attack and the pentagon might be a target. assigned to the defense secretary s personal bodyguard, he had come on his own initiative, ready to move rumsfeld to a better-protected location. there was an incredibly loud boom, says davis, raising his voice slightly on the last word. fifteen or twenty seconds later, just as his radio crackled with a message, the door opened and rumsfeld walked out, looking composed and wearing the jacket he normally discarded while in his office. sir, said davis, quoting what he had heard on his radio, we re getting a report that an airplane has hit the mall. the mall? replied rumsfeld calmly. without further word, the secretary of defense turned on his heel and set
