ABOUT THIS BOOK

“Never losing faith, we waited through the many years of struggle to achieve our rights. But women weren't just waiting; women were working. Never losing faith, we worked to redeem the promise of America, that all men and women are created equal. For our daughters and our granddaughters today we have broken the marble ceiling. For our daughters and our granddaughters now the sky is the limit.” —Nancy Pelosi, after being sworn in as Speaker of the House

When Nancy Pelosi became the first woman Speaker of the House, she made history.

JANE MAYER, Washington correspondent for The New Yorker, has an important book that will officially hit the stands on Monday, 14 July. I have signed a contract forbidding me to share any of the blockbuster findings and reporting that she has done on the internal Bush administration debates about torture policy and the other post-9/11 war decisions, but I can say that she has done the nation a great service by further illuminating the important and often defining roles that Vice President Cheney and his staff have played in these policies. In particular, Mayer takes her groundbreaking profile of David Addington -- Cheney's current chief of staff and the man David Ignatius referred to as "Cheney's Cheney" -- an order of magnitude higher.
