George Stoneman: A Biography of the Union General Book

This is not a subtle portrayal but then its subject was hardly a subtle man. A major player in recent American politics and also in the U.S. corporate world, Rumsfeld gets a glossy, succinct overview full of revealing character details compiled and written by a veteran reporter. The subtitle accurately describes how Cockburn sees his target. His droll evaluations of the strategies, techniques, judgements and manipulations surrounding the Iraq War and its aftermath are hilarious...at least they would be except for the pain, suffering and death these machinations inflicted on American service personnel and the Iraqi people.
