Work Description
Donald Rumsfeld tells the story of his career serving as a Congressman, and working for several Presidents in different capacities including two stints as Secretary of Defense.
He describes Rumsfeld's Rules, his list of guidelines for behavior and action, and how they were proven over a lifetime of service as well as his use of 'snowflakes', informal memos designed to stimulate action in others.
This work gives good insights into the inner workings and thought processes of an ethical administration. Rumsfeld shares in detail how decisions were made in the George W. Bush administration and where he thinks they might have been done differently. A long book worth the effort of serious study.
