Overview
In his #1 New York Times bestseller, former Vice President Dick Cheney delivers a forty-year portrait of American politics and shares unyielding reflections on his role as one of the most steadfast and influential statesmen in the history of our country. In his enlightening and provocative memoir--a stately page-turner with flashes of surprising humor, remarkable candor, and powerful resonance--former Vice President Dick Cheney takes readers through his experiences as family man, policymaker, businessman, and politician during years that shaped our collective history. Eyewitness to events at the highest levels, Dick Cheney brings to life scenes from past and present: He chronicles his coming-of-age as a high school athlete in Casper, Wyoming, and courting homecoming queen Lynn Vincent, his future wife. He describes driving through the White House gates just hours after the 1974 resignation of Richard Nixon, to manage the Ford transition. He portrays his response to the national crisis of 9/11, when he conveyed orders from the White House bunker to shoot down a hijacked airliner if it would not divert. And he reveals how his political vision has endured through his extraordinary ascent to the heights of American public life as: * The youngest White House Chief of Staff, under President Gerald Ford * Congressman from Wyoming who worked closely with President Ronald Reagan * Secretary of defense under George H. W. Bush, overseeing the U.S. military during Operation Desert Storm and the resolution of the Cold War * CEO of the international Fortune 500 company Halliburton * The first U.S. vice president to serve out his term of office in the twenty-first century. Working with George W. Bush from the onset of the global war on terror, he was--and remains--an outspoken proponent of taking every step necessary to defend the nation.
Dick Cheney
Dick Cheney served as the 46th Vice President of the United States under President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2009. Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, and raised primarily in Casper, Wyoming, Cheney built a distinguished career spanning more than four decades at the highest levels of government and the private sector.
Cheney served as White House Chief of Staff under President Gerald Ford and was elected six times to the U.S. House of Representatives from Wyoming, eventually becoming the minority whip. He served as Secretary of Defense under President George H.W. Bush, overseeing America's military during the 1991 Operation Desert Storm, and later served as chairman and CEO of Halliburton Company from 1995 to 2000.
As an author, Cheney published his memoir, In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir, in August 2011, co-written with his daughter Liz Cheney. The book chronicles his recollections of 9/11, the War on Terrorism, the 2001 War in Afghanistan, the run-up to the 2003 Iraq War, and other pivotal events during his tenure in public service. The memoir became a #1 New York Times bestseller.
In 2015, Cheney published Exceptional: Why the World Needs a Powerful America, again co-authored with Liz Cheney. The book traces the history of U.S. foreign policy and military successes and failures from Franklin Roosevelt's administration through the Obama administration, examining what the authors describe as the unique role the United States has played as a defender of freedom throughout the world since World War II.
Cheney died at the age of 84 in November 2025.
