Dick

Description:

"Here is the first biography of the most powerful vice president in American history. Drawing on groundbreaking reporting - including interviews with members of Congress who have tangled with the vice president and who are now investigating him - Dick: The Man Who Is President details Dick Cheney's history of dodging the draft, his efforts to undermine investigations and prosecutions of the worst scandals of the Reagan era, his far-right congressional career, his (ongoing) relationship with corporate giant Halliburton, and his relentless promotion of the Iraq War. The book opens debate on a fundamental yet, until now, unasked question: Do Americans really want Dick Cheney to continue running their country?"--BOOK JACKET.
