A candid, detailed account of one of America’s most influential and controversial political figures — offering insight into decades of service, power, and decision-making at the highest levels of government.  In My Time is both a personal reflection and a political document — revealing the convictions, controversies, and crises that defined Cheney’s public life.

 

In this forthright memoir, Dick Cheney, former Vice President of the United States, reflects on his career spanning more than four decades — from serving under Presidents Nixon, Ford, and George H. W. Bush to his pivotal role in the administration of George W. Bush. Written with his daughter Liz Cheney, the book offers a rare insider’s perspective on U.S. politics, 9/11, and the difficult choices that shaped recent history.

 

From his early years in Wyoming to his tenure as Secretary of Defense and Vice President, Cheney discusses the behind-the-scenes realities of policymaking, leadership during wartime, and navigating media and political scrutiny. The memoir is unflinching yet deeply human, revealing a man shaped by service, family, and conviction.

 

Whether one agrees or disagrees with his politics, Cheney’s perspective offers a valuable window into how modern American power functions — and the cost of carrying it.
