Duty

Eliot A. Cohen reviews Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War. An excerpt:

This curious memoir is many things: a contribution to the historical record, an interesting reflection on leadership at the top, and an unnerving warning about the personalities that will dominate American national security decision-making for three more years. It does not always reflect as well on its author as he might have wished, but that is because he is more honest than most memoirists.
