Review # 1 was written on 2012-10-02 00:00:00 Steven Duncan Those who know what a left winger I am would be shocked to see my rating on this book. There's plenty of things that I would never see eye to eye with Alexander Haig on. However his memoirs are a long yet fascinating read. He came from very humble beginnings to work his way into the inner power structure of the United States, and takes you on the journey step by step. Also offers plenty of insight into the Nixon and Regan administrations. A great read for political science students.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-04-14 00:00:00 Timothy Pickens This book ended up growing on me most likely because its bulk is dedicated to my favorite topic: The Nixon Presidency. I really didn't like Haig at first with his fawning over MacArthur and his pooh-pooh'ing the seriousness of the Cuban Missile Crisis. I thought he was just writing through right-wing glasses. But from the Johnson Administration onwards, he got interesting. Of course, I was glued during his Nixon years, and I learned even more about Dick Nixon. Haig glazes over the Reagan years unfortunately, but mainly because he wrote another book about that time. Recommend for anyone interested in the presidency, foreign policy, or the history of the 60s and 70s.
