It was reported by The New York Times back in June 2009 that former Vice President Dick Cheney had signed a deal with an imprint of Simon & Schuster (Threshold Editions) to write his memoirs about the time he spent in politics over the past 40 years (in which he was involved in service with four presidential administrations). In addition to his political linkage Cheney will reportedly write about his private business experience where he served as Chief Executive of the Halliburton Company (an oil field services provider) that has been linked closely with former President George W. Bush and campaign dealings. Cheney concurred on a recent interview on the Today Show that the book will be “candid and blunt” and may even “settle some scores.” This book falls in line with a register of figures from the Bush administration like Condoleeza Rice and Karl Rove who also have book deals it seems to be an attractive way to air viewpoints while still collecting a nice paycheck (it has been reported that Cheney will receive around 2 million for his book). And as far as airing viewpoints, Cheney commented in the Today Show interview that his book will cover some regrets he carries to this day an emotion many believed he was not capable of. The book is slated to hit the shelves later this year so reserve your copy now if there’s an interest to learn more about the frustrated man cloaked behind the president he served.
