I'll never purchase this book and it has nothing to do with ideology. Dick Cheney is extremely transparent in his 'persona.' He has a god complex. He found out what it was like to have power as Chief of Staff to the late President Gerald Ford. He never got over it.
Not a 'godly' complex. A god complex. Tell me the definition doesn't fit. Cheney, "There is no such thing as a debt ceiling." There really isn't anything his book is going to say to cast new understanding of whom he is or the circumstances.
A god complex is the "overwhelming belief" that no matter how complex a problem is, one's idea about it is infallibly right, or the consistent belief that one can accomplish more than is humanly possible or that their opinion is automatically above those with whom he or she may disagree. The individual may believe he or she is above the rules of society and should be given special consideration or privileges.

As a matter of fact, if I was to point a finger at any 'entity' that would attempt to undermine the entire Space Program over a hissy fit about the Space Shuttle it would be him. During his time as Deputy Assistant to the President he was known to author a memo to Rumsfield, whom was then his superior, stating the Justice Department should be asked to leverage power over journalist Seymour Hersh. Hersh was publishing an investigativer report in the New York Times that revealed Navy submarines had tapped into Soviet undersea communications under a classified program.
The Former Vice is also known to spend time with new intelligence personnel to aggrivate issues of control.
Dick is a problem. He is one of those “Lone Wolves” that use his access to power to cause trouble to achieve warped goals no different than 911 and what followed it. He completely disregarded the memo regarding al Qaeda and bin Laden. He and the Executive Branch under Bush neglected the best interest of the county to aggrivate circumstances that would allow for an agenda that didn’t exist, never existed until it was created by the imagineering of Cheney.
I have no interest in his book as I already know every scenario points to a man so power hungry he lost sight of the country a long time ago while wrapping himself in the flag. He is sad. In every way he is sad.
