Robert Gates was the Secretary of Defense following Donald Rumsfeld...not a real hard act to follow if you want to look competent. But he comes across as more than competent. So much so, Obama asked him to stay on after he was elected and he served about 2 and a half years under Obama. Gates had a long career in government but this book focuses on his time as Secretary of Defense but lessons from history are also included. I've always admired Gates and he is certainly a straight shooter in his memoir which turned out to be a little more detailed that I really needed. Very glad I read it but also glad I'm done with it.
