About the Author

James Rosen is a leading reporter, historian, and bestselling author. His work has appeared in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, theWashington Post, Politico, The Atlantic, Harper’s, National Review, and the American Bar Association Journal, among other periodicals. He is the chief White House correspondent for Newsmax, following two decades of acclaimed reporting at Fox News. During the Obama administration, Rosen’s exclusive reporting on national security subjects led to his being placed under surveillance by the FBI and censored by the State Department, episodes that triggered headlines, investigations, and reforms. His previous books include The Strong Man: John Mitchell and the Secrets of Watergate, hailed by the New York Times Magazine as “Pulitzer-quality biography,” and Cheney One on One, a collection of transcripts from the ten-hour oral history Rosen conducted with former vice president Dick Cheney in 2014. His most recent book, A Torch Kept Lit: Great Lives of the Twentieth Century, an anthology of essays by the late William F. Buckley Jr., spent five weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. With his wife, two sons, and two cats, he splits his time between Washington and the Chesapeake Bay.

Editorial Reviews

More than four turbulent decades at the epicenter of political life have made Dick Cheney one of the most consequential political figures in the nation’s history. You will see important chapters of that history—including some that are still being writ- ten—differently after savoring this wonderfully conceived volume in which Cheney converses with one of Washington’s most seasoned journalists.”
—GEORGE F. WILL, author, Pulitzer Prize–winning columnist, and Fox News commentator

“Invaluable...James Rosen has given us a rare and compelling view of how Dick Cheney sees the world and himself. With searching questions and clear-eyed follow-ups, Rosen served as history’s interlocutor in a series of revealing—and inevitably controversial—conversations.”
—JON MEACHAM, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and author of Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush

“An essential document of modern America.... With the depth of a historian and the instincts of an investigative reporter, James Rosen adds considerably to our under- standing of Dick Cheney and the administrations in which he served.... Offers crucial context and fresh reporting on many of the most controversial decisions of the Bush- Cheney years.... A must-read.”
—STEPHEN F. HAYES, senior writer for the Weekly Standard and author of Cheney: The Untold Story of America’s Most Powerful and Controversial Vice President

“Indispensable.... James Rosen has a knack for asking probing, unusual, and some- times uncomfortable questions.... His skill as an interviewer is vividly on display in the hours he spent interrogating Dick Cheney.”
—JONATHAN KARL, chief White House correspondent for ABC News

“Fascinating, revelatory, and valuable.... A contribution to our current political dia- logue that will also serve as a basic source for the historians of the future.”
—MICHAEL BESCHLOSS, author of Presidential Courage: Brave Leaders and How They Changed America, 1789–1989

“James Rosen skillfully lets Cheney be Cheney, bringing to life a third of a century on the front lines of history.”
—I. LEWIS LIBBY, former chief of staff to Vice President Cheney
