Casino67 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Washington Post:Dick Cheney has finished his memoir, according to his daughter, and the book is scheduled to come out on Aug. 30.Liz Cheney said that the former vice president’s manuscript was turned in at the beginning of the month. She said the book, currently being edited, will be “very straightforward,” with “a lot of in-depth analysis of really critically important issues.” Cheney’s memoir, “In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir,” is being published by Threshold Editions, a conservative imprint of Simon & Schuster run by Republican strategist and former Cheney aide Mary Matalin.On Wednesday, the publisher issued the cover art for the book, showing a characteristic Cheney look during his vice presidential years (and a pose not unlike the cover photo of President Bush’s “Decision Points”): hands in pockets, staring slightly away as he stands alone in the White House Cross Hall.A favorite of the right, Cheney is widely regarded as among the most powerful and controversial of vice presidents and his book is the most anticipated vice presidential memoir in recent history. His daughter, who collaborated on the memoir, said in a recent interview with The Associated Press that “In My Time” will show his “sense of storytelling and sense of humor,” but also that he has “very strong views and a very clear perspective."

Valin Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Dick Cheney’s memoir will have ‘very strong views,’ daughter Liz says If it didn't, that would be news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casino67 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Lot's of good books coming out this year. Especially good for conservative readers. I may go broke ordering all of them. My modem went out over the weekend and I finally got to almost finish Bush's "Decision Points". Once I was really able to get into it, it turned out to be almost one of those you couldn't put down. Next is Rumsfeld's book. May be more of a challenge to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
