The World According to Dick Cheney

Perhaps even in the time of the controversial "Bush" administration there was no doubt that real decision-making power was in Dick Cheney's hands, for whom Bush was only a necessary evil. That is, no matter what you think about (everything) capable Cheney and his unprecedented steps, ways, opinions and power, there is no denying that his view of these very steps, by which he largely shaped the contemporary world, is inevitably and extremely interesting. This is despite the form of only talking heads (Cheney or his political partners, rivals and people putting the events into context) combined with commentary accompanied by archival footage. This is particularly interesting in combination with Bush's memoirs, the current report of the Senate Committee of Inquiry (not only) on CIA methods, Morris's portrait of Rumsfeld and, to some extent, the overseas version of the House of Cards.
