Vice
by Lou Dubose
"Cheney has always been an astute politician. He survived the collapse of the Nixon presidency, finding a position of power in the administration of Gerlad Ford. He was then elected to the House of Representatives, and later he earned a spot in the cabinet of the first Bush presidency. But when he became George W. Bush's running mate, Cheney reached a whole new level of influence. From the engineering of his own selection as vice president to his support of policies allowing torture as a permissible weapon in the "war on terror," Cheney has steered America consistently rightward."--BOOK JACKET.
