Few Americans have spent more time
near the center of power than former Secretary of
Defense Donald Rumsfeld. His years at the helm of
the Pentagon have included momentous times,
including the 9/11 attack. He was instrumental in
devising the U.S.
response to that attack and the overall U.S. strategy for the war on terrorism, including
the campaigns in
Afghanistan
and Iraq.
Now he has written Known and
Unknown, a best-selling memoir of his
half-century career, sharing previously undisclosed
details that may force historians to rethink much of
the conventional wisdom about recent history.
Secretary Rumsfeld's book reveals what happened
behind the scenes during critical moments of the
Bush administration, as the President's inner circle
debated how best to defend our country.
Hudson Institute is pleased to
invite you to a discussion of Rumsfeld’s memoir by a
panel of insiders: General
Peter Pace, former Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff;
Lewis Libby, Senior Vice
President at Hudson Institute and former chief of
staff to Vice President Cheney;
Douglas Feith,
Hudson Institute Senior Fellow and former Under
Secretary of Defense for Policy;
Jamie McIntyre, former Senior
Pentagon correspondent for CNN; and Secretary
Donald Rumsfeld, who will
respond to the panel's comments.
This event is by
invitation only. Only those with confirmed RSVP's
will be admitted, and IDs will be checked at the
door. For media inquiries, please contact

This event will be streamed live
