Synopsis
Dick Cheney is the most powerful yet most unpopular vice president in U.S. history. He has thrived alongside a president who from day one had little interest in policy and limited experience in the ways of Washington. Yet Cheney's quiet, steady rise to prominence over a span of three decades occurred largely behind the scenes. Now veteran reporters Lou Dubose and Jake Bernstein reveal the disturbing truth about the man who has successfully co-opted executive control over the U.S. government, serving as the de facto shadow president of the most dominant White House in a generation. Cheney has always been an astute politician. He survived the collapse of the Nixon presidency, finding a position of power in the administration of Gerald Ford. He was then elected to the House of Representatives, and later he earned a spot in the cabinet of the first Bush presidency. But when he became George W. Bush's running mate, Cheney reached a new level of influence. From the engineering of his own selection as vice president to his support of policies allowing torture as a permissible weapon in the war on terror, Cheney has steered America consistently rightward. In Vice, Dubose and Bernstein uncover startling revelations, including - the extraordinary intimidation of CIA officials by a vice president bent on obtaining intelligence to support a foregone conclusion: the invasion of Iraq - details on Cheney's secret energy task force, including his meeting with Enron chief Ken Lay months before Lay was indicted-and how Cheney went to court to erode the powers of Congress - how Cheney helped to kill 2003 diplomatic overtures from Iran to discuss concessions on its nuclear program andpolicy toward Israel - Cheney's role in engineering multibillion-dollar military contracts in Iraq to benefit Halliburton, the company he once ran - eyewitness reports from prominent Republican and conservative sources who go on record for the first time to tell the truth about how Dick Cheney has hijacked the American presidency In the words of one of Cheney's colleagues from the House: Dick keeps his own counsel. He's completely in control. He's completely sure of himself in everything he does. It's what got him to where he is today: the most powerful vice president to ever hold office. It's also what's bringing about his downfall. In Vice, we get an unprecedented expose of how Cheney operates and what his vice presidency will mean to America-now and in the future.

- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller packaged my item very carefully and shipped it out quickly, and it arrived earlier than the estimated time. Sadly the seller didn’t note in the description or in any of the listing images that this ‘brand new’ book had some staining along the edges of the pages. Personally I would’ve listed this book as “used but good condition” instead of brand new. But I’m just glad to have this book since I’ve been looking for it for a while, so it’s ok.
